[78-L] Loyal to the Kyser

[Taylor Bowie]

Yeah,  Pushin' Sand is very suave and sophisticated in a stylish early-40s 
way,  and was also a big hit...often that side is shot and the flip is 
clean.

I would also give a thumbs-up to the Kyser version of "He Wears A Pair of 
Silver Wings."  Excellent Babbitt vocal,  and more of that wonderful Jack 
Martin lead soprano sax work...yeah,  it's copying the Miller sound in a 
way,  but it has a softer,  almost ethereal tone by comparison.

Taylor
