National Jukebox: "String Beans" recorded in Los Angeles in 1924

The Library of Congress just launched National Jukebox, making historical sound recordings available to the public. Listen to song “String Beans” as it was recorded in Los Angeles in 1924 by the Montmarte Orchestra, sometimes referred to as the Montmarte Orchestra of Hollywood (audio file takes a couple of seconds to download from LOC site).
