[78-L] "Grandfather's Clock", Harold Williams, & D. Lennick

[Dan Van Landingham]

Speaking of foreign big bands,can anyone out there tell me about Francis Bay's 
Bay Big Band?I have
owned several of his albums over the last 25 years.Some of them not bad.I found 
two this afternoon 

at the local Goodwill store here in North Bend,Oregon .The band recorded for the 
Omega label which
is a label I'm not that familiar with.I believe these recordings were cut around 
1962;around the same time
of the World's Fair in Seattle,Washington.The band was from Belgium as I recall.

Ernest Lush, most likely. By "requested", I mean that someone at Naxos really 
wanted that version included.
