Gene Rodemich's Orchestra - Twilight

Another, homonymous song than the one in my previous upload. Pianist and orchestra leader Gene Rodemich, well known in St. Louis, achieved national fame, and ended his career in New York City. His band played the musical accompaniment for many of the radio shows in the early days at the CBS studios in New York City. Rodemich was musical director of Van Beuren Studios, writing music for animated cartoons. He composed for many of the studio’s other shorts, and for Frank Buck’s first movie, Bring 'Em Back Alive (1932). [2] He also conducted during numerous NBC programs and recorded 87 sides for Brunswick Records. Rodemich became ill while making a recording with his orchestra, which had been accompanying a NBC program on Sunday nights. He insisted on continuing the recording although he had been stricken with a severe chill. A few days later, he died from pneumonia, only 43 years old. This excellent recording was made in 1924.
