Today the Sally Ann in Niagara Falls NY yielded up an album containing the 
filthiest Varsitys I've ever seen (yes, two of them were John Ryans, but I 
already had them). I picked up a couple, and neither is in Rust..although one 
of them I expected to be in Russell, for reasons which will be obvious.

8185    LANG THOMPSON & HIS ORCHESTRA (vocals: Chuck Eaton, Peggy Nolan)
    LAST NIGHT ON THE BACK PORCH/ROW ROW ROW
    (hotel band, sounds like Orrin Tucker)

5098    CODY'S COWBOY BAND with singing:
    BLACK EYED SUSAN BROWN/WHEN IT'S DARKNESS ON THE DELTA
    (Crown masters C1974/5

"Cody's" is the real surprise..it ain't no cowboy band at all! It's a decent 
early 30s dance band with some nice playing, and a vocalist who sounds a bit 
like Ozzie Nelson. (Somebody go get that shotgun away from Simmons.)

Any thoughts?

Lang Thompson made quite a few sides for Varsity and a few for Elite. ZZZZZZZ
