Taken from a very attractive yellow Filmophone record, this is a wonderfully smooth rendition with slightly different lyrics to others that I have heard on record.
Apparently Dave Frost underwent surgery in 1929 to remove a brain tumor and lost an eye in the process. He wore glasses and a false eye after and this may have been one of the reasons why he avoided publicity and isn't as well known as other bandleaders.
I am indebted to Memory Lane for this one, as I have another copy on a rather trashed Filmophone that sounded awful! Thanks also to Peter Wallace, Henry Parsons and Terry Brown for the photos of Dave Frost's Band. Enjoy...
