Great to hear some early Francis Craig.

I decided to look this up and found that Goldie Hawn's dad is on this along with Kenny Sargent of Casa Loma fame.

Trully a find and the real sound of the era. Congrats!

That mid 20s sound without vocals.

[HarborGuy]

@HarborGuy - Yes after all it was about dancing to most. Vocals were fun but not for the "floor"//

[Corrie121]

Where did you find this Lou. Those Columbia territory band records aren't very common.

About 15 years ago,I bought 4 boxes of records for $20 at auction including about 100 mint Columbias including this one.
