"FAMOUS" BANDS
Glenn, greeting from Yorkshire
If you decide to revisit/rework this theme, may I suggest "Victor Vorzanger's Famous Dance Band" which recorded on the UK Broadcast label around 1927. They're worth a listen.
(Blue Lagoon is playing as I type. The vocalist sounds like Maurice Elwin. Can't say I've heard of Herman Darewski and His Famous Melody Band.)
