Don't know how much of a clue that'll be for you. Found it originally at a Great 78 store in Los Angeles, The Jazz Man, where I bought a lot of my early Raymond Scott 78s. Sadly, it is gone now.Byron Wernernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-64913234311449291752010-12-14T21:35:08.080-06:002010-12-14T21:35:08.080-06:00This song isn't working now.This song isn't working now.Sammy Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-59703922650835299362009-02-23T06:46:00.000-06:002009-02-23T06:46:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-2002787116193842512009-01-11T16:06:00.000-06:002009-01-11T16:06:00.000-06:00Hey there, Thanks so much for your comment. Unfort...Hey there, <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your comment. Unfortunately, Toby Deane died earlier this decade - not quite sure of the year - she was living in England, I believe, at the end of her life. I would love to hear from her family, but have not heard from anyone who knew her, yet. I intend to make a post with about 6-8 other tracks by Toby Deane, some time this month. <BR/><BR/>I would LOVE to see the picture that you found. I have one picture of her, from the back of an album from 1963, and it's not a very good one - it's from an angle, and she's not looking at the camera. So if you can send me a scan of that picture, I'd be much obliged. <BR/><BR/>I'd also love to know what records you found. Keep watching this space for more Toby Deane. <BR/><BR/>And please do write me - I am at either Rasmaster@aol.com or bobpurse@gmail.comBob Pursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595178670595128341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-34604533083372230452009-01-11T15:57:00.000-06:002009-01-11T15:57:00.000-06:00I am thrilled that I found your blog and this Chri...I am thrilled that I found your blog and this Christmas song by Toby Deane. I've been looking for her material for a long time. When I lived in Philadelphia, I found a collection of 78 records and a photograph of her with Benny Goodman. I've been searching for her ever since. Does she have a web site or someway that I can contact someone about this material? I am interested in returning it. Just post a comment if you may and I will forward my e-mail address. Thanks again...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-53765113786247911602008-12-26T17:47:00.000-06:002008-12-26T17:47:00.000-06:00Very cool and bizarre!Sounds like something you'd ...Very cool and bizarre!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like something you'd hear in a cartoon after someone had too much to drink. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
