The Bandit-Percy FaithTango of the Drums-Les Baxter April in Portugal Ken-Griffin

I heard a song on YouTube, that had no title, and it reminded me of a record I had as a kid, so I went on a search for that record. I never found it ,but I found 3 others stored away many more years ago than I care to remember. I cleaned them up as best I could. My aunt bought me these records when I was around 6 or 8 years old and I must have played them a million times . They are badly worn, and the center hole in one is an 1/8th of an inch too big from wear. As young as I was I hated kiddie records, but would play music for hours. I must have had an old soul. So here are the 3 records that barely survived being played on my ugly green vinyl covered record player my father picked up somewhere. I eventually did graduate to something better, but not until it wore out my records. Well, here I am playing my favorite old childhood records on a manual record player just like I was 8 years old again all because of a long forgotten tune I heard on youtube.

Outstanding as always, Maynard! I put this on my Latin Instrumental playlist. My Les Baxter list has surpassed 70 jewels! My current inventory is 7000 songs on 500 playlists, over 300 by artist & 111 lists for every year since 1900.

This Latin Orchestral sound is TOPS !!!!

My compliments on your good taste !!!!

@chkjns Hi and thanks for the nice comment. I was listening to a variety of music on your channel just yesterday, mostly Ray Coniff. I really enjoy your channel it has such a large variety of great music to choose from.

In youtube's continuing saga of disfunctionality, it doesn't accept replies to comments this evening. Thanks for your nice comment about my channel's variety. I too have always had an old soul. I enjoy these 3 records as much tonite as when I first heard them over a year ago. You do a really nice job with your music & historic music playing apparatus videos. chuck

Many thanks for this post. Loved Tango Of The Drums as a child but it has been long forgotten until now. Thanks again.
