===================
I CAN'T GET STARTED (August 7th, 1937)
For the Swing Era no other trumpet player had greater impact on 
the public than the handsome, dapper leader Bunny Berigan. His 
horn had first gained him fans with Benny Goodman, and then Tommy 
Dorsey before he started his own band in 1937, This famous song 
from a hit Broadway show (originally sung by Bob Hope of all 
people) was a hit with the public and musicians alike. This 
particular performance is to be treasured because it is an 
unissued version made on the same day as the famous released 
version. In many respects it is superior to the famous one on 
Victor, but the fluff in his solo caused it to be rejected at the 
time. Treasure it, it is great music.

Cheers,
