Ray Noble And His Orchestra play "When My Little Pomeranian Met Your Little Pekinese". The arrangement is by Ray Noble. I love the intro featuring violin and viola (the viola is played by Harry Berly). After the vocals, the violins and viola return, leading to a swinging 16 bars by the band, followed by Harry Berly's hot viola and then another 16 bars of driving ensemble, finishing with a positively declamatory 4 bar coda!
