Tom Waring, born February 12, 1902, Tyrone, Pennsylvania; died December 29, 1960, Shaunee, Pennsylvania. Along with his older brother, Fred Waring, and their friend Poley McClintock they created the Waring-McClintock Snap Orchestra, which evolved into Fred Waring's Banjo Orchestra, "Banjazztra". The band often played at fraternity parties, proms, and dances, and achieved local success. The Banjo Orchestra eventually became known as "Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians." From 1923 until late 1932, "Waring's Pennsylvanians" were among Victor Records best-selling bands. Tom Waring was the pianist and vocalist with the orchestra. In late 1932, the band abruptly quit recording, although they continued to perform on radio. In 1933, "You Gotta Be a Football Hero" was performed on radio to great acclaim.
The flip side is "After I say I'm sorry" which I posted some time ago. http://youtu.be/ee-wxgKr8c0
