Scritchy Scratch and Hiss But That's What We Listened To  Ages Ago !!

Adrian Schubert Conductor, composer, cellist and arranger born in Vienna, Austria.He performed as a cellist with the Metropolitan Opera Company and made recordings as a cellist before he was appointed General Musical Director of the Regal Record Company. From 1925 to 1930 he was Musical Director for the Plaza group of labels including Banner, Domino, Regal, etc. In 1930 he became Musical Director for Crown Records. His work as a band director appeared under a large number of pseudonyms. A quick perusal of his discography would result in the conclusion that every record he made came out under another band name.

Eddie Elkins. was born in San Francisco in 1897. He was a violinist and leader of the Jazzy Knickerbocker Grill Orchestra, a popular supper-club orchestra in New York during the Roaring Twenties.  As he grew in his career, Elkins became known for supplying orchestras with sophisticated dance numbers. With his nurturing capability, he had greats like Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Red Nichols and Oscar Levant within his ranks. His orchestra recorded through the 1920s for the Columbia and Okeh labels. In the 30s, he recorded for the Banner label.

Reginald Herbert Dixon, MBE, ARCM (16 October 1904 – 9 May 1985) was an English theatre organist who was primarily known for his position as organist at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, a position he held from March 1930 until March 1970. He made and sold more recordings than any other organist before him, or since. He was in high demand throughout the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. During his fifty-year career he was one of the top-selling artists, his prolific output ranking alongside that of Victor Silvester and Bing Crosby.
