[78-L] Kitty to Rosie to Jane

[Taylor Bowie]

Didn't mean to cast aspersions on anyone's musical taste...I often get hit 
for my own!

I guess Kitty's 50s stuff wouldn't  irk me so much if I didn't know what she 
had been doing in the 40s.

For a 50s pop best-seller female singer ballad record,  I'll go with some of 
Rosie Clooney's better sides.

Maybe my fave of that genre (also due to my parent's 45 collection) is Jane 
Morgan's "Fascination" with that wonderful sort of Euro-pop orchestra (the 
label calls them The Troubadours!).   I was also happy to replace that with 
a very clean and smooth 78 pressing...I think it's a Canadian pressing.

Speaking of that record,  can one of you literate musicians explain the time 
signature on that one to me?  At one time I thought it was a 3/4 
waltz....but that ain't it exactly.  So "Teach Me Tonight" if you please!

Taylor
