I have one other Joyce composition on a batwing Victor played by (IIRC)  
Bohemian Orchestra.  It's "Vision of Salome".  What makes this special  is that, 
on radio in the late '40s there was a quiz program which featured a  'mystery 
tune'.  Phone calls were made (at random?) around the country, and  a big prize 
offered to the one who named the tune.  Well, I knew the  tune!  It was 
Joyce's "Vision of Salome".  Unknown by name, it was  (is) familar as circus music 
accompanying animal acts.
Nobody called.....
