[78-L] Happy Birthday to You

[Taylor Bowie]

Julian's post reminded me of a very cool record I have of  Happy Birthday to 
You on a Buff Bluebird,  from 1934 or 35.

Can't recall the band but it's either one of the studio groups (Berwick, 
Peltyn) or some minor group,  and they play several choruses of the damn 
thing in almost every tempo you could think of...waltz,  tango,  fox trot, 
march,  rumba...great record!  Little bit of actual jazz on it,  too.

Can anyone remind me who the artist is?  I'd like to dig it out and play it 
and am so backwards that I just have my records alphabetical,  not on a 
computer list.

Taylor
