Bill Sables: Just to confuse the issue, and old friend of mine, Roy Harris became enamored of a song that I wrote about a floating dance hall called the Silver Queen. The Silver Queen was built to move houses down the river in my hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin. During the second wolrd war, business slowed down so someone painted the boat silver, put railings and benches around the flat deck, hung some paper chinese lanterns and bought a juke box. I used to love to ride on the boat, and watch the young men home on leave, dancing with the local girls. Roy took the song, added concertinas and a chirrupy chorus of girls singing with British accents, and made it into a period English song. An absolutely delightful transformation. It was no longer American, and I must admit, I liked it better as a forgotten world war II English song. If he'd tried to make it sound American, it would have sunk, like the Silver Queen eventually did, and a charming recording would never have occurred. Thanks, Roy!
