OK Mike me ole mate,
What am I missing?
What about "Oh, Say! Can You Swing" (Stillman-Hyde-Adlam) by Wingie Manone &
His Orch?  
(Manone, Brunies, Matlock, Marsala, Lanoue, LeMaire, Shapiro, Alvin. 4 Feb
1937.)
Your comment, with its reference to the American national anthem, did not
ring a bell.
So I am playing it now. Still can't hear any patriotic mis-connection, or
reason for a radio ban.
You have me curious.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
PS: Or was it a trick question?
