I have two Joseph C. Smith Canadian Victors here..each one has a bright perky 
fox trot backed with an unbelievably droopy waltz, one with a horrible vocal 
(Ruby Green has to be heard to be believed). "Driftwood" has nice work by Teddy 
Brown and "Tessie Stop Teasing Me" isn't bad either.

No Jack Denny sides turning up yet. I had them out about 10 years ago for 
possible inclusion in the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society's "Dance Bands 
 From Canada" CD and they weren't refiled. Or used in the CD.
