Muggsy Spanier And His Ragtime Band (10" LP)


I got this LP from Hector's House in Belfast, one of the last of the old style record stores, now closed. Its a bit crackly. Although it doesn't have "Relaxin' At The Touro" its from the same golden period of Spanier's recordings, with the music playing the musicians rather than the (more usual) other way round.

I had a bit of a thing about Bix Beiderbecke at one time, largely because others rate him so highly that he must be good. But I think I prefer Muggsy Spanier; good music doesn't have to be complicated.

Completely in agreement with you, the music as most of the things of the life, is not necessary that they are complicated to be emotive or good. I remain admired by his(its) work and tremendous discografia who shares us. I am an admirer of his(its) blog and of his(its) work. Thank you very much friend.
