January 1954 and Eddie Calvert was already a TV star.

I noticed Eddie Calvert on this programme. This takes me back to the fifties when my dad bought a huge radiogram and the very first record he bought was a 78 rpm of Eddie Calvert and his band playing 'Zambezi' and on the B side was 'Trumpet Tango'. We played them so often that they are almost ingrained in my brain and I still remember them so well. THis prompted me to look on UTube for these songs and sure enough, they are there. Magic memories!

Eddie Calvert, came out to Germany,and put a show on for the troops', at N.A.T.O. H.Q. Rhinedahlen, 1956. A great show. Only he could play " Cherry Pink, and Apple Blossom White", on the trumpet. It was a joy to listen to him.
