[78-L] Really preposterous sweet band

[Taylor Bowie]

Chatting with Mr. Barr about Lombardo and Garber for some reason reminded me 
of another recent arrival in the Olde Recorde Stash...a staff Bluebird from 
1938 of "What Goes On Here In My Heart"  by Frank Dailey and his "Stop and 
Go" Orchestra.

Until now,  I'd thought the most over-the-top sweet stuff might have been 
from Garber in the 40s,  the "Rippling Rhythm" of Shep Fields or maybe Sammy 
Kaye at his wah-wah-iest.

It all sounds like  Boyd Raeburn playing "Boyd Meets Stravinsky" compared 
with Mr. D's stopping and going.

I don't even know how to describe it...but it brings to mind a little bit o' 
Blue Barron, the Charlie Barnett record of The Wrong Idea,   with a slight 
sprinkle of Spike Jones sound effects.

Anybody else familiar with these Dailey Stop and Go records?    The earlier 
Bluebirds of Dailey sound nothing like these.

I should add that I'm quite taken with this record,  maybe because it's 
so...something.
