The Band Played On by Guy Lombardo on 1940's Decca 78.

This was from a Maxell chrome Dolby-B cassette tape I recorded years ago from original Decca 78 rpm record that was in very good shape, and I unfortunately no longer own, at least the tape is in very good, clean shape.

Transferred to digital using stereo system on my background photo.

This was a #1 hit Guy Lombardo for two weeks in 1941 (out of a 14 week chart run). The vocal is by Kenny Gardner and the Lombardo Trio.

My parents spent their honeymoon in New York, I can't recall the hotel, but Goy Lomabardo's Orchestra was there, so needless to say he was always one of their favorites! Many thanks for the posting, very nostalgic and heartwarming!

When I was 3 years old, I would go to the Ground Round with my Grandmother. I would sit on the table and sing this to her friends. It was a very happy memory.

I also have "Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" by Guy L. in my video lineup...It has a white Decca 78 rpm label on the video photo.
