Ray Noble and His Mayfair Orchestra in a recording made in 1932. Noble was a British bandleader and songwriter who became hugely popular in the States in the 1930's and eventually took up residence in the U.S. during the war and lead a number of successful orchestras and performed regularly on the radio.

Probably not with this song though. Once Noble hit the States and became an established songwriter with numerous hits to his credit, the "nudge-nudge-wink-wink" songs were a thing of the past.

Except for tonight of course as we wind up our tour this week of ancient shellac.
