Or...as I used tp occasionally introduce my blues band...
"Steven C. Barr and his Polynesian Room Dance Orchestra...!"

I was playing regularly at Grossman's Tavernette in Toronto...
and another regular act there had unearthed a poster reading
"Dine and Dance In Our Polynesian Room," and copied it to
promote their NY Eve show there! I'm also known (albeit more
"officially?!") as "Steven C. Barr and his Skae's Corners
Melodians"...!
