Nice find, Greg. Thanks. I liked the whole band and was amused by the cheesy dancing. Do you have the rest of the personnel? Sounded like a very good Dixieland-lite Chicago style band of the time. The clarinetist looked and sounded a little like Peanuts Hucko. IMO, the sax man was the most affirmative soloist on the clip.  

Fun stuff.
