Notes: Artist on "Christmas Balls" not noted but identified as Ben Light.
Light was born in 1893 into a family of classical musicians in New York City but was known as a rebellious child and decided to go in for ragtime playing on the piano. By age 18 he had a regular gig in Denver, CO and he was a Vaudeville staple in the 1920s and into the mid-1930s. In the late 1930's he recorded bawdy "party" records with suggestive titles for low-budget jukebox labels (one racy number being "The Guy Who Put the Dix In Dixie"). He began recording as Ben Light and His Surf Club Boys before moving on to more prestigious recordings for Capitol Records in the 1950s, like "Speed of Light." You can still hear his Vaudeville roots shining through, like sunlight from the distant end of the longest piano keyboard in the universe. Ben's last recordings were released in 1958; he died at age 72 in January of 1965.
