Charlie Davis and his Indiana Stage Orchestra.
Don Chihester


I hear a possibility that the announcer might be Bob Brown 
who also did the Perfect Circle Piston Rings record with Charlie 
Straight Orch on a promotional Gennett.

I saw a mention of it in the advertising trade press or maybe Time 
magazine.  Over a million copies of it were mailed out which is why it 
is relatively common compared to most other small Duriums.  Most of them 
have their mailing labels pasted on the reverse side.  This is the best 
transfer I've ever heard of it.  Listening to it this way instead of on 
a worn copy, I hear a possibility that the announcer might be Bob Brown 
who also did the Perfect Circle Piston Rings record with Charlie 
Straight Orch on a promotional Gennett.  If Elizabeth is reading this, 
what do you think?  There is a breathless McNamee quality to the reading 
but a couple of affectations in pronunciation that McNamee never really 
did, but Bob did.
