[78-L] Bob Lido with Welk

[Taylor Bowie]

Speaking of Welk singers whom I did like a lot...violinist Bob Lido has 
always been my fave.  Before he joined Welk,  Bob played with the Carmen 
Cavallero Orch.  and recorded at least one vocal with him on Decca...a 
remake of the old Joe Haymes novelty "Let's Have a Party."  I once found a 
broken copy of it and for some reason have never been able to score another.

Does anyone have that or  any other Bob Lido vocals with Cavallero?
