[78-L] Trumbauer 1932 sides

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks,  Dave...I didn't know he took a break from Whiteman for a year or 
so.  After I played this Columbia I needed to restore my faith and clean out 
my head so I followed it with both sides of my fave Trumbauer Brunswick 
which dates from '34:"  Emaline and Long About Midnight....what a contrast!
