[78-L] Wing Toy

[Ronald Olsen]

Indeed, Doug, please enlighten us! I'm in Winnipeg, and found this disc here. Then as now, I'm sure people travelled to the Twin Cities to shop, party down, listen to bands, and even bring some discs home. They sound good enough to be a Lanin outfit (road band, perhaps?). Not out of the realm of possibility.

My pal and our list mate Doug MacClellan has a copy of this, and I recall 
that he told me that it was actually a real band...from Minneapolis,  maybe?

Doug, enlighten us on this.

While we're on the subject, can anybody tell me anything about Wing Toy and

his Orientals? I have a copy of "Sing Song Girl"/99 Out of a
Hundred" 
(Broadway 1442). It's apparently a Sam Lanin band, with vocals by Walter 
Ahrens. Both songs are better versions than many others I've heard from
that 
time. Any idea who is on this disc?
Thanks,
RonO

...and then there's "Hi Lee Hi Lo" by Billy Murray & Ed
Smalle. VERY un-PC..



and in oldtime fiddle music: "Chinese Breakdown." And "Kill the
Shanghai Rooster..."
