Kind of a mess, honestly. A feature for Nick Hupfer, a violinist-arranger who (along with most of this early Herman band) had been with the Isham Jones orchestra. Jones often featured these light classics in foxtrot tempo to good effect. The difference was, Herman was trying to swing the number, and Hupfer was anything but a swing fiddler. As Nick Harper, he returned to his native Milwaukee and led dance bands in the 1940s.
