Dixie Daisies - Are You Lonesome To-Night

This appears to be a pseudonym for Bob Haring, who was an American popular music bandleader of the 1920s and 1930s. Haring recorded 78rpm records under a plethora of orchestra names, such as The Caroliners, The Lincoln Dance Orchestra, The Society Night Club Orchestra, King Solomon and His Miners, and The Colonial Club Orchestra, in addition to his own Bob Haring & His Velvetone Orchestra. Haring's discography is difficult to trace, since many of the sides he performed on do not actually list his name. However, several dozen sessions on which Haring led or arranged an orchestra have been catalogued by discographers, mostly falling between 1920 and 1931. His recordings with The Colonial Club Orchestra were his most popular. This outstanding side was recorded in 1926. It should be noted that this song bears the same title as the other, much more famous song from the same year as this one; however it is a radically different composition.
