Moonlight Melody - The Sons of the Pioneers

The Sons of the Pioneers were the foremost vocal and instrumental group in western music, and the definitive group specializing in cowboy songs, setting the standard for every group that has come since. They were also one of the longest-surviving country music vocal groups in existence, going into their seventh decade. More important than their longevity, however, the greatest achievement of the Sons of the Pioneers lay with the sheer quality of their work. Their superb harmonies and brilliant arrangements delighted three generations of listeners and inspired numerous performers.

@friscolobo ty for the info it's much appreciated

This was recorded from one of their radio transcriptions around 1940. The original group recorded it after Roy Rogers left them for the movies. They were Bob Nolan, Lloyd Perryman, Tim Spencer, Pat Brady, and Hugh and Karl Farr. Great group.

@fatjud1 It sounds like a radio recording to me with those other intstruments (accordion? vibraphone?) in the background.
