What Is It About The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy?
I recently saw an eBay listing for an Andrews Sisters' 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' on Decca 3598 go for good chunk of change. I have to admit that I was (and still am) surprised at that. I searched completed listings to find find this particular tune was consistently way above what I would have thought an Andrews Sisters' 78 would command.
Feeling that I had to have had several copies of this record in my boxed up 78's in the garage...I proceeded to search. When I had finished flipping through each box, I found that I didn't have a single one. Oh...I had a ton of 'Rum & Coca Colas' and other well known hits but no Bugle Boys.

Dean Martin's 1947 Embassy 78
Dean Martin is, hands down, my favorite entertainer. My late Italian Grandmother would play his albums constantly on her wall length Sears console stereo. She had the scratchy vinyls stacked on the automatic changer spindle as high as it could possibly go. Every once in a while she would have to get up and nudge the needle that had became stuck in an endless skip. (I would later give her cd's of every Martin track, but as grateful as she was, she still spun the wax.)
