The Dixie Shoe Steppers were a dance band created to promote Dixie Shoes the main selling point of which was a $3 pair equivalent to any $4 shoes, see attached ad pdf.  The Dixie Shoe Steppers recorded a series of programs which were distributed to radio stations in the midwestern states on 12" records pressed by Brunswick.  WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio featured a Dixie Shoe Steppers program on Saturday nights at 7pm local time.  A listing of shows recorded in 1929 may be found here https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/mastertalent/detail/312341/Dixie_Shoe_Steppers and there were others recorded before and after that.

 

The recording attached here is matrix XE 31359 recorded on 10/28/29 for the National Radio Advertising  Co.  The flip side of this disc is blank.  It is not one of the selections on the B side of the Sunny Meadows lp on Sunbeam records.

It’s energetic and helps you imagine snow and a sleigh with silver bells. The record is in remarkable shape for it’s age. I hope it brightens your Christmas season.
