Charles DORNBERGER Orch. was an American band, who enjoyed greatest success in Canada. Dornberger played the sax primarily, and also the piano, clarinet & accordion. He never had any formal training. Dornberger got his start with the Paul Whiteman Ochestra. After WW1 Whiteman moved to San Francisco, where he organized a dance orchestra. Whiteman's band was soon playing at the city's most prestigious Fairmont Hotel. He formed another band when given the opportunity to play in the southern part of the state, in Santa Barbara's Belvedere Hotel. The eight musicians under his direction were: pianist Charles Caldwell, trombonist Buster Johnson, tuba player J.K. Wallace, trumpeter Henry Busse, drummer Harold McDonald, saxophonists Leslie Canfield and Charles Dornberger, and banjoist Mike Pingitore. Around 1921-22, Charles leaves Whiteman's orchestra to found a band of his own.

ATTENTION! All lovers of The Charleston can find here in YT the film-instrucion how to dance it the perfect way: there's a clip from the Argyle Hotel in the heart of Hollywood: Minn & Corina - Jeremy & Alicia - two dancing master couples of the Charleston contests of 2006 etc., show us how to do it - exactly in that crazy manner as my Mom and Dad taught me, hundreds of years ago.

The Charleston was not popular in the fifties, nostalgia was. Look at us, today: The seventies are all the rage in TV and the movies, in re-makes and on Broadway. The fifties were looking back, or more accurately, those who had come of age in the Twenties were looking back as waistlines stretched, kids screamed and the spouse either bitched or seemed not interested.

Robert Montgomery was sooooooo handsome and had his own TV Program in the 50's -60's........surprise the Charleston was still popular as music was changing a lot by the late 20's and into the 30's........
