One of the important members of Waring's band was Fred Culley...who
started his own band c.1929, and who cut eight sides in Montreal which
were issued in 1930! These four records number among the VERY few
Canadian dance-band records issued after VTM took over Herbert
Berliner's HMV-Victor Canadian operation in 1923...see the NLC site
for further deatails...!
