Carle Comes Calling by Frankie Carle

Columbia Records Inc. Set C-129. 
Copyright 1947. 4 discs. 78 RPM

This record by pianist Frankie Carle was forever around our house throughout my childhood. It was one of my father’s favorites. And now, after a long search, I’ve bought "Carle Comes Calling" on eBay for under $10. 

This is not the time for an agonizing examination of my motives for acquiring this record. I have a more pressing problem. My turntable doesn’t play 78 RPM records. Accordingly, my new purchase is suitable for display purposes only. 

Track List
(all are "piano solo with rhythm accompaniment")
  • 87315: Star Dust/Canadian Capers
  • 87316: I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)/Deep Purple
  • 87317: Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone)/I Want a Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)
  • 87318: Chopin's Polonaise in Boogie/If You Were The Only Girl
