[78-L] Johnny Standley

[agp]

I was going through some stuff I picked up at the Goodwill store in 
Niagara Falls Ontario, and amidst the stuff I passed over at first 
glance (common really big artist or artist I'd never heard of), I 
came across a gem that totally sums up why I love collecting 78s!

Its a Canadian Capitol release (of a US Capitol master) of Johnny 
Standley (with Horace Heidt and his Muiscal Knights) and It's In The 
Book Parts 1 & 2. This is a hoot. If you've never heard it or of him, 
I'd advise you to go to You Tube and see:

This is not my You Tube post but one of the UK issue by someone else.

I see from a quick google that he just passed away back in March.

You won't hear great stuff like this on what passes for radio these days!
