Glen Echo PUP
Is Pussy

Just because Jerry, the English
bulldog who is q member of the
Dave McWilliams Orchestra at
Glen Echo, Is "sot in his way"
it looks as though the new Glen
Echo musical signature number
will have to be tossed into the
discard.
Musician Farley Eaton, Of the
McWilliams band, has composed
a new tango designed to replace
the Lady Of Spain" signature
number used last year.
But Jerry doesn't like the new
number. He sulks and won't let
out a single one of his cheerful
barkS when it is played. At first
this was blamed on Jerry's recent
visit to the dog dentist.
Then some suggested, Lets
try him with Lady Of Spain
The idea clicked Immediately.
With the first bars Of Lady in
SPAIN Jerry jumped up and
barked gleefully. In bulldog fash
ion he said:
eyes, sir, that's the right sig.
nature number"
So it looks as If Lady of
Spain" will again be the prelude
to Glen Echo programs. Either
that, or Jerry is going to resign
as canine vocalist.
