Do you have Bye Bye Blackbird on 78 rpm?

No, I don't have that one at the moment, thank you for checking out the oldies memories here...Friends, Lloyd.

Was this the same Frank Dailey who ran the Meadowbrook in on Pompton Turnpike ( Route 23 ) in Wayne, NJ? I heard that he'd had a dance band going back to 1929. The Meadowbrook was still active as a dance venue for swing music well into the 1960's.

@JCJasion

I am not 100% sure, but I think it might be, and he might have formulated his "Stop & Go" Orchestra style their?

[rojoknox]

@lrh1966 - It is the very same Frank Dailey, and I do believe the Stop-and-Go gimmick originated at the Meadowbrook. Dailey's theme song was "Gypsy Violin[s]." Years later, Ralph Flanagan (who played often at the Meadowbrook) recorded that song, and featured in broadcasts.

Thank you for the added info. & I feel embarrassed about the wrong label logo on the 78, but it is in the family as Bluebird was a RCA Victor affiliate, but I will change it when time allows. I have to leave for my night job now, and I look forward to chatting again soon...Friends, Lloyd.

Wondeful recording from good ol' Frank Dailey and his orchestra

@cvwtzhaar

Thank you for checking it out, he is getting harder to find on any format!!...friends, Lloyd.

I'm curious as to what that catalog number might be, Lloyd. It might be a Canadian pressing, for all I know...

[fromthesidelines]

Recorded on March 11, 1938, and originally released on RCA's Bluebird label [7479]. The song was written by Raymond Scott, whose quintet had a popular hit recording {and it turned up in several Warner Bros. cartoon scores as well}. Frank Dailey was also the owner/operator of the Meadowbrook ballroom in Cedar Grove, N.J., THE place to hear big bands in the '30s and early '40s...

Thank you for filling in the gaps that I was unable to locate directly relating to this 78, the version I have is on the scroll Victor label. I don't have the record number handy as it is in a storage box in back of closet. I transferred the record to CD-R a while back and only made note of the Victor scroll label it was on...friends, Lloyd.

[rojoknox]

@lrh1966 - You have this on a Scroll Victor?! Dunno how that can be, unless it's an Argentine Victor or something like that. Bluebird B-7479 is the original US issue. If you ever get the chance to dig that disc out again, please let us know the catalog number. Bluebird records weren't issued in Argentina as such; they had a Victor number series set aside for them. That's why there's no US Victor 24900s, 25900s, or 26800-27199, and also why the new 20-xxxx series came in when 28000 was neared.

@rojoknox

I will have to correct it. I took the song from my homemade CD that I made from the 78 years ago, and I forgot it was on Bluebird. I have the original 78 in the back of my closet, and hard to get at to check the correct label, but I now realize it was a mistaken label that I will correct when time permits...Friends, Lloyd.
