Found this treasure it is thrilling voices, multiple songs and GEM singers great chorus rated highest 14+ reserved for the very best performances. Great operatic voices thrilling love it!!!!!! thank you profusely have not heard this quality except during network programmes i heard as kid in the 40's and 50's. ROGHARM cannot shoot BEBES at this recording (punny) Bebe Daniels was great and i am not Ben Lyons to you (punny). thank you for this great post!!!!
What deliciously sedate and genteel folk these Texans and Mexicans are, how well recorded for their time, and how beautifully reproduced here by the Master Craftsman. As usual, a most enjoyable posting. Many thanks

Crooks may be singing the lead in "Following the Sun Around," but it is J. Harold Murray singing "Rio Rita" and "The Ranger's Song."

"We 're all bound together, all birds of a feather..." Sometimes these operettas make one wonder.
Heavenly singing from Crooks.
