[78-L] Doris Day

[Taylor Bowie]

I like her stuff with Page Cavanaugh...around 1950,  she did nice versions 
of two of my fave tunes You're My Thrill   and No Moon At All.

That's sort of the middle period between her records with Brown and the 
cutesy stuff e.g. A Guy is a Guy which I don't like either.
