Two tracks were cut from The San Francisco Sound, Vol. 2 because of space limitations. Here is "La Veeda," which chronologically is the bridge between the two CD volumes. It was recorded on July 8, 1920, upon the Hickman Orchestra's triumphant return to New York, where they were featured in the finale of the Ziegfeld Follies, and afterward each evening, in the Midnight Frolic at the Danse de Follies.

Look for a second track, "Molly-O," in our January 2006 Recording of the Month.
