[78-L] Mantovani & "Oh, Canada"

[Taylor Bowie]

Speaking of Mantovani,  I recently got an American Columbia (in the 3000-D 
series) of him and his Tipica Orch.  doing "Me And The Moon" b/w "Serenade 
in the Night."   Very odd sound...I think it will take a while for me to 
warm up to the thing,  if I ever do.  Anybody else have this one or any 
others he did at the time?

P.S.  My spell check wants to change "Mantovani" to "Manitoban."  Is that 
because of all you Canadians on the list!?!?  I thought most of you were in 
Ontario anyway!
