[78-L] For lovers of British Dance Band music

[Dan Van Landingham]

Although my collection of LPs had a few British big bands I wore out a British 
Decca of "Barrel House
Boogie" by Harry Roy.I want to say the flip side was "Steppin' out at Midnight" 
but the centre of the la-
bel was gone.1930s British bands were seen as being somewhat corny,but this band 
actually swung.The
only other British big band I heard was an American Decca of "Canadian Capers" 
by Lew Stone.I loved
it.Another big band I heard-and suspected of being a British band-was Tom 
Berwick.I had a robin's egg
and blue Bluebird of his band doing "Tea for Two".I purchased both records back 
in 1978 when Coos
Bay,Oregon's oldest radio station went off the air back in late 1977.The entire 
78 rpm library went up for
sale at $.25 each.
