Here it is February and the
recording output has just about
returned to normal, with few
exceptions, however. And these
exceptions that we speak of, and
which are causing some concern
in recording circles, is the band
situation.
The band like any other busi­
ness is being effected by the
problem of drafting manpower

into the army. And like any
other business, the band leader
is faced with a condition that
only war can bring about. Mu­
sicians are being drafted into
the army by the score and band
leaders throughout the country
are wondering what to do about
it— perhaps in time, they too,
will be drafted and the problem
solved in that manner.

However, with some of the
leading bands in the country
now faced with the loss of their
best talent, recording sessions
are consequently hampered. No
musicians — no band, and of
consequence, no recording. This
is, by far and large, the one im­
portant occurrence in the music
industry, that may in time effect
the phonograph operator.
Courtney Waxing Soon
Incidentally, when it comes to
the fact that radio plugs make
a recording an asset to phono­
graph play — radio time can
place a band in a position to ob­
tain a recording contract. Such
is the case with Del Courtney,
who at one time recorded for
the Okeh label. Requests by the
thousands from Del Courtney
fans listening to his nightly
network broadcast b r o u g h t
about a sudden change in the at­
titude in recording company
executives.
Suddenly, so it seemed, that
Del’s music had become pro­
foundly good and of conse­
quence, several of the recording
executives would like to sign
Courtney. From looks of things
Del’s brand of banding has al­
ways been good and it’s merely
a matter of what the public de­
mands, it generally gets — so
Del Courtney and his sweet
swingy rhythms will be back on
the wax platter and soon.
