Moving into 1929, Irving Mills is back, this time with Bob Finley and his Orchestra with "Doin' the Campus Crawl":
These things get kind of confusing, as I'm not sure if Bob Finley was a real person!
To add to things, there's also an unissued (at the time) Irving Mills/Jack Pettis instrumental called "Campus Crawl":
The melody sounds kind of familiar to me, but it doesn't seem to be the same song as "Doin' the Campus Crawl."
This Pets group incudes Glenn Miller on trombone this time around!
Irving Mills (shown at bottom) and Jack Pettis keep the college dance rolling along with "At the Prom" on Victor Records, as by Irving Mills and his Modernists:
That's Irving doing the scat vocal, with Jack on sax and most of the usual suspects from his Pets!
I'm not sure I have any of this straight, but some fun music!
