Re: Billy Murray
He's one of my absolute favorite artists from that era. I actually have two large record albums filled with my favorites, and I'll often go on a Billy Murray binge, listening to them all back-to-back.

Marimba; Profiteering Blues; Ragtime Temple Bells; Take Me To The Land Of Jazz...
Although these aren't probably the most popular ones...
Didn't he sang a version of Over There?

Re: Billy Murray
Love his duets with Aileen Stanley and Ada Jones. I prefer his duets with Stanley, but many of you may have a different opinion.
