Ted Wallace & His Campus Boys with Vocal Refrain - Campus Capers, Talkie Hit from the MGM's "So This Is College", Columbia 1929 (USA) NOTE: For me, it's one of the happiest songs ever written in the Roaring Twenties. Perhaps, it was so because just round the corner, the Great Crisis was waiting to come and put an end to that jolly & careless epoch. Ted Wallace was pseudonym of the American singer, musician and musical manager Ed Kirkeby (1891 -- 1978). He was one of the first recording managers at Columbia Records to record jazz and organized the California Ramblers to record it. He recorded extensively during the 1920s and early 1930s using many pseudonyms for recording including The Little Ramblers, The Goofus Five, Five Birmingham Babies, The Vagabonds, The Varsity Eight, Ted Wallace And His Campus Boys, Ed Kirkeby Wallace. Over the years he also managed the Pickens Sisters and worked in the band booking department at NBC. As Fats Waller's manager he also acted as his archivist building a collection which is held today by the Institute of Jazz Studies.
