[78-L] Very western sounding Japanese dance band

[Taylor Bowie]

I've found stuff like that as well,  David.  And there are some posts on 
YouTube of Japanese stuff going back to the late 20s which is totally 
Western dance band in concept...and a lot of it's really good!

Speaking of Japanese stuff,  I recently got an American Columbia pressing of 
the ever-popular Tokyo Boogie Woogie...got to be a lot more rare than the 
Japanese issue!
