[78-L] Loyal to the Kyser

[simmonssomer]

I have an excellent (and clean) CD with 22 of Kyser's good ones 1937-1948.. 
Put out by (ahem) Submarine Records.(U.K.)
Featured vocals by Mike Douglas Ginny Sims, Trudy Irwin, Harry Babbit, 
Gloria Wood, Sully Mason, Merwyn Bogne(Ish).
All well above the standard of most of the boy singers and canaries of that 
era.
Remember?...."Who Wouldn't Love You?";  "Everything Happens To Me";  "I 
Can't Get Out Of This Mood"; "You Go To My Head";
 "On A Slow Boat To China"; and of course that schlager..."Don't Bring Lulu" 
from 1939.
I will be glad to transfer that CD and send along to those who are genuine 
Kyser afficionados.
Completists need not apply.
I received this from a kind colleague but I'm ashamed to admit that I can't 
remember who it was.
Thus my pennance and offer to send this along to ,hopefully, a limited 
number of enthusiasts.

Al Simmons
