Czy ty pamiętasz? (Do You Remember?) Fox-rumba z filmu "Wonder Bar" (Warren/ Lipski) - Mieczysław Fogg  & Ork. Syrena Rekord, Syrena-Electro 1935

NOTE: This is one more tribute to Jerome David Saliger, a great American writer who died in Cornish, New Hapmshire on the 27th January, 2010. In autumn/winter 1937-38, as a 18 year old boy, he happened to be on a few months practice in the City Slaughterhouse in my home town of Bydgoszcz, Poland. It was so much against his emerging young writer's personality and his feelings - these hogs and pigs slaughtered in front of his eyes - however, he surrendered to the decision of his father, Solomon Salinger, the owner of a big ham & cheese export-import in New York. 

So, this movie is my reminding of the city Bydgoszcz as it used to look to the eyes of young visitor from New York City, in the Fall of 1937. And this lovely fox-rumba from a fashionable American movie "Wonder Bar" was, perhaps, played by some band in a main street cafe, when Jerome was just passing by? Or - played by somebody's radio standing by the opened window in some apartment, just over his head? Do you remember Bydgoszcz, Jerome D.?
