[78-L] Kitty to Rosie to Jane

[David Lennick]

If you have to have Jane Morgan's Fascination, the Canadian Kapp pressing is 
indeed the one to have. Me, I can't stomach that one..or, frankly, much else by 
her. Two exceptions: "With Open Arms" (A-pling-a-chung) and "A Girl Named 
Johnny Cash" (one of Martin Mull's lesser known songwriting efforts).

It used to be a waltz..I'm not about to listen to it again to see whether they 
stretched it out.
