[78-L] No "Lady of Spain," please

[Taylor Bowie]

The poor old squeeze box...I enjoy listening to it.  Besides the ones Al 
mentions,  you have plenty of great studio band records ca. 1930 with 
Cornell Smelser or Charles Magnante cutting loose with some excellent jazz 
solos.

Check out the nice Smelser (?) solo on the Fred Rich Harmony/Velvet 
Tone/Clarion version of "Cheerful Little Earful" for a perfect example.


Cheerful Little Taylor

P.S.  Lots of later stuff I like as well,  e.g. Art Van Damme,  Joe Mooney, 
Mat Matthews,  etc.
