[78-L] How Well Did They Do It

[Taylor Bowie]

Fred mentioned the Eddy Howard Orch. which gets far too little attention 
from collectors.

His Majestic of "Cynthia's In Love" is one of the most romantic and gorgeous 
post-war dance sides...as I recall it's the flip to his big hit of To Each 
His Own,  which is also beautiful...but not as fine as "Cynthia."

I'll also take an opportunity to plug the post-war Kay Kysers on 
Columbia...check out That's The Beginning of the End with a Michael Douglas 
vocal...also Say It Isn't So...best arrangement of that song I've ever 
heard.  And the Kyser record of Old Buttermilk Sky is pop perfection.
