Dear Bob,
That would have been Lou Sineaux and the record a Capitol EP or LP  
recorded at the Casbar on 11 Feb 1958. (It was issued in both formats.)
I have been a longtime Prima band lover but, until recently, never  
bothered with his 'commercial' stuff from 1942 on.
Youse blokes (Harry Callaghan, David Littlefield, Steve Barbone, et  
al) are interfering with my mouldie-oldie one-eyed reputation and  
tempting me into buying even more of Prima's 50s material.
Kind regards.
