[78-L] Revised American Dance Band Discography

[simmonssomer]

I'd want them also but the $2,500 per game seats at the new Yankee Stadium 
are a mighty tempting alternative.
Wot to do?
At the risk of some lost sleep I'll just have to be satisfied with such, as 
the old "Frank Dailey and His Stop-and-Go-Orchestra" entry in the original 
edition. Sigh!
At least I'll be able to afford some peanuts and crackerjacks.
