Say Mister, Have You Met Rosie's Sister? Fox Trot (Charlie Harrison /Fred Rose) -- Don Bestor & His Orchestra, Vocal refrain by Cloyd Griswold, Victor 1926 (USA) NOTE: Don BESTOR -- American dance orchestra leader, pianist. He learned to play piano in age of 16 and started as a vadeuville accompanist. In 1921 he briefly formed his own dance band before accepting the job as leader of the Benson Orchestra, succeeding Roy Bargy. He remained with that group until 1925, when he left to form his own orchestra again. In 1933 he put together what would be his radio successful group. Though the sound was less impressive than during the Benson days, Don Bestor's band became famous when featured on Jack Benny's radio program in 1934. Benny would lead into Bestor with the famous tag, ''Play, Don! Play!''. In late 1930s/40s Bestor continued to perform at ballrooms and theaters across the country until retiring in 1943.
