[78-L] Stormy Weather

[Taylor Bowie]

That is a good one,  David.  I enjoy hearing the composer's own "take" on a 
tune.

One of the oddest ones I have of a writer playing his own tune is a Frank 
Silver and his Orchestra on Puritan playing Silver's modest little hit, 
"Yes,  We Have No Bananas."  Alas,  even Mr. Silver can't do much with it, 
although I'm sure the money he made was enough consolation.
