Sam Lanin Orchestra – I Want Somebody To Cheer Me Up (1925)
Sam Lanin (September 4, 1891 – May 5, 1977) was an American jazz bandleader. Lanin’s brothers, Howard and Lester, were also bandleaders, and all of them had sustained, successful careers in music. Lanin was one of ten children born to Russian-Jewish immigrants who emigrated to Philadelphia in the decade of the 1900s. Sam played clarinet and violin while young, and in 1912 he was offered a spot playing in Victor Herbert’s orchestra, where he played through World War I. After the war he moved to New York City and began playing at the Roseland Ballroom in late 1918. There he established the Roseland Orchestra; this ensemble recorded for the Columbia Gramophone Company in the early 1920s. Sam recorded with a plethora of ensemble arrangements, under names such as Lanin’s Jazz Band, Lanin’s Arcadians, Lanin’s Famous Players, Lanin’s Southern Serenaders, Lanin’s Red Heads, Sam Lanin’s Dance Ensemble, and Lanin’s Arkansaw Travelers. He did not always give himself top billing in his ensemble’s names, and was a session leader for an enormous number of sweet jazz recording sessions of the 1920s.

He had a rotating cast of noted musicians playing with him, including regular appearances from Phil Napoleon, Miff Mole, Jules Levy Jr. and Red Nichols, as well as Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Manny Klein, Jimmy McPartland, Bix Beiderbecke, Eddie …
www.MySmartWireless.com As you can see in video… it only takes one person to get your business rolling. Why not be that one person? Notice the guy in video was NOT a big GURU Sales Marketing Person with a huge following… just an average guy doing his own thing. Notice also that he didn’t have a BIG sign that said “Hey come join me”… He didn’t walk around and ask people to come join him either… He didn’t go running after family and friends so he wasn’t alone… he just danced! He just danced in front of people (think of this as your website starting to get traffic) and when someone finally liked what he saw… he joined in and danced too. He did the same thing the first guy was doing and they gave high fives and started building a relationship as they continued to dance. It wasn’t long after that… others started to follow. Notice in video that many people never came alone… they always brought one or two people with them. Before you know it… this guy had dozens of people dancing with him and he never asked one person. It may have started as FEAR… being the only one dancing and wondering what others will think… but it soon became the FEAR of being last and everyone wondering why you’re NOT dancing. This is how your business will grow. Somebody like Scott OBrien is doing the Panther Mobile Dance and standing in front of 1000’s of people looking for cell phone deals… People are checking it out and saying that looks like fun, I want to dance with Scott. They …
