August, 2007 Oceanpark.ws:
I am looking for old film/video footage of the Venice Pier Ballroom from the 1940's. If possible, footage of Ted Daffan and His Texans playing there in 1944 and 1945. I am Ted's granddaughter and a) have never seen him play with the band and b) want to possibly put together a documentary.
If you have access to any archival video or could steer me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks, Dayna Quinn-Castillo
Thank you for your inquiry. I haven't run across any yet but I'm interested in any details you might have at hand . . .
I found Blue Steel Blues by Ted Daffan's Texans on the ProperBox CD set Disc Three, Doughboys, Playboys and Cowboys: The Golden Years of Western Swing . . . Kelyn
