Episode: 'Black Orchid' (1982) (i)
Artist: The Savoy Orpheans
Titles: "The Charleston" / "Dinah" / "Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue" / "When Erastus Plays His Old Kazoo"
Notes:
* The Savoy Orpheans were a British dance band of the 1920s who were resident at the Savoy Hotel in London, between 1923 and 1927
* At the time, Rupert D'Oyly Carte, owner of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and Savoy Hotel. described them as "probably the best-known band in Europe"
* Although 'Black Orchid' is set in 1925, "When Erastus Plays His Old Kazoo" wasn't actually written until 1927. Ooops!
