No...it's that you don't like Joe Haymes which makes people want to hunt you 
down like some wild beast!

Which leads me to ask this,  Julian.  The sound and personnel of the Haymes 
band on record changed quite a bit from 1932 to 1937...is there anything of 
the Haymes era which you dislike less,  or have you damned it all in one 
swell foop?

Here are my fave Haymes sides:

Oh! Leo (Bud Freeman all over it)
Truckin' (Bose)
Sittin' on the Moon
River Man
Organ Grinder's Swing
It's All Forgotten Now (nice vocal by bassist Gene Traxler)
Gotta Go! (ARC version...great arrangement)
Happy As The Day Is Long
Wild Honey (really nice Freeman solo)
Papa Tree Top Tall
