- Sound Cloud:
- Description:
- I had a scratchy old 78 RPM recording of a band from Boston and could barely identify the tune they were playing. I believe the person playing the accordion on the track was Billy Caples, a well-known Boston accordion player and teacher. I sent it to Baltimore to Billy McComiskey. He and flutist Laura Byrne learned the tune and made this recording with Donna Long playing the piano: shades of Boston's Dudley Street dance halls in the 1950s.
