I just came up with an odd and  - I think - great 78. I was buying some 
oy (ho-hum) Smeck Deccas on eBay and also won Herald 460. Sometimes 
'll buy a record only because the title might be Hawaii related. This 
ne is "Paradise Princess" and is a Rock n Roll ballad with no 
awaiian-redeeming value. The flip is also of no tropical worth, BUT is 
 most interesting New Orleans style rocker, ala Fats Domino & Dave 
artholomew, entitled "My Sweetie's Gone" by Al Savage.
he instrumentation seems to be 2 (?alto) saxes, piano, tenor banjo, Bb 
aritone tuba and drums with Savage doing vocal. The tuba is outstanding 
n that the player not only does the normal bass line routines, but also 
lays some lead lines. It bops along with the saxes using a very NO 
eel. Very obscure... very interesting!
eems it was recorded in New York c. May 1965.
'll see what I can do about putting it up online somewhere.
 really need to find a regular "notepad" temp site to put up recordings!
