      You are bidding on an authentic vintage band arrangement, published by Irving Berlin Music of New York City.  It is a moderate-tempo fox trot.  Lyrics are included ("Did you mean it when you made that mischief dance in your eyes?  Did you mean it when it ended in a kiss?  Did you mean it when you made me see new stars in the skies?  Did you mean it?  Was it much too sweet to miss?...", etc...), so this tune can be performed as an instrumental or with vocal solo. These old arrangements have been performed by bands of the past and so may feature library numbers, musician markings, paper damage, etc...  This particular arrangement is in very good shape, it is completely readable, and is ready for your band to perform. This has a nice melody that your audiences will enjoy!

     This old tune (73 years old!) is a nice collectible, and is ready to play!  Check out my feedback rating and bid with confidence!  Please e-mail with any questions.
