Sounds right Julian. Dorsey broadcast from Dallas for Ford V8 during the
Texas Centennial Exposition in August of 1936.
I have a couple of those broadcastst but unfortunately no "Dancing With
You".on either one. There were obviously others.
My "Dancing With You" came from a radio station and as you indicated they
probably got it off either the Jasmine or
Fanfare LP. A very obscure incident and I'm happy that you dug it out. I can
sleep again.
