It just doesn't sound right without the tuba rather than a string bass. That's what I liked about the Lombardo band - the fat recording bass sound - this recording lacks the depth. But thanks for posting.
First of all it's not a swing band and never was. The Royal Canadians represent an older musical tradition, i.e. more 1910s and 1920s than 1930s and 1940s, and were a fixture of the music scene long before swing came along.
the nostalgie of not seeing any more of this on tv on the 31th of December by midnight.

I only hope the young couple at 1:49 are still dancing to and enjoying Guy's kind of music, and have not succumbed to heavy metal or hip-hop...
Good heavens were they wooden. A perfect example of how NOT to swing....
Best dance band ever!
