No lyrics (yet.) A crappe tonne of background and trivia in the old notes. Mind the drift:

Honey Bee:
The Lord Templar artwork track title is Sweet As A Honey Bee. The Discogs title (above) is a typo. I see the sister label Supertone release isn't up there yet. Same, MLP807 catalog#. Same preposterously prodigious prices.

Wlimouth Houdini title is Sweet Like A Honey Bee, Okeh 8621, 1928, side B (b/w Song No.99.) May be the same song… maybe not.


'Lord' Templar:
There is a list of Calypso Monarchs. He's not on it. Not as “Templar” anywho. Meaning, he was almost certainly a 'Manhanttan' calypsonian, like Harry Belafonte &co.

His only gig seems to have been Master of Ceremonies for Chicago dance legend Jimmy Payne's “Calypso Carnival” for the latter part of the Blue Angel's 1954 season. The club owner (Jean Fardulli) & Monarch Records owner (Manny Warner) were business pals.

Trivia: And speaking of Belafonte, Payne's first M/C for the Carnival's 1953 premier was none other than Lord Burgess, before he was a Lord even.
