Carmen's Bathtime

Local character Bernie - believed to be Father Christmas by the local children - has supplied the Orchestra with a lovely haul of new/very old records. Among forgotten bands such as Jack Payne and His Hotel Cecil Orchestra, The Savoy Havana Band and the International Novelty Orchestra, I found Carmen Miranda's exotic  I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I like you very much). All of these records were covered in years of dust and grime and needed a good wash. As I'm sure in real life, Carmen Miranda looked great after a bath.
