[78-L] Oldest Happy Birthday Recording

[Taylor Bowie]

Yes,  and what an OUTSTANDING record that is.  For those of you who haven't 
heard it,  Ray and the band play several choruses of that well-known ditty, 
each  in a different style,  including marching band,  waltz,  country,  and 
a regular dance band fox trot.  If that is the first record of the song,  it 
was never topped after that!
