[78-L] Silly Season on eBay

[David Lennick]

I missed a copy of that one on eBoom a couple of years ago when it went for 
$40. In fact I saw it but didn't connect it in my mind and thought it was the 
vocal group The Pied Pipers, on an odd label. A copy was played a couple of 
years later at the Canadian Collectors Congress as part of a presentation on 
college dance bands and private recordings.

And there are two takes of the Jimmy Stewart "Day After Day", both of which 
turned up on vinyl pressings in Toronto a while back.
