I was digging through some records I bought a few weeks ago and found a 4th studio recording by the Barbary Coast Orchestra from Dartmouth College.  This band was started at Dartmouth College in 1919 and is still in existence today.  I haven't been able to find any information about the band during the war years, or any recordings.  I'm thinking these 1942 studio recordings might actually be very rare.  Enjoy!

Just got a 1943 AEGIS (Dartmouth College Yearbook) and here is the band:
