Dear list members,

I
have a question about a mysterious record. It is a familiar Japanese folksong. But I can´t find 
any details of it, nor in my guidebooks, nor on the web. It is really a lovely recording.

The title is TONKO BUSHI, recorded on (Japanese) Columbia Records, cat.nr. A 1171,
matrix M 1212223

It is  sung by Gladys Tsutsumi with Columbia Orchestra
Authors:  verse: Michael White, Melody: Masao Koga, Arr.: Raymond Hattori 

hope to find out more about Gladys Tsutsumi and also about this recording (date
and place)

The  label is partly in English and partly in Japanese.  I would be very happy to hear from 
you!

Don't know anything about Gladys Tsutsumi, but this is a post-war record, so
the music world was very conscious of American styles. A lot of singers made
up English first names for themselves. Koga Masao is one of the most famous
songwriters in Japan, with a long career (from about 1930 to the 1970s, I
think) and many of his songs try to combine a folk song sensibility with
modern orchestration.
