Notes

Orchestra Under Direction of Van Alexander.

Scheduled for release on Beacon 101, original cat# overstamped on the labels of the first pressing.
From the biography The Melody Man: Joe Davis and the New York Music Scene, 1916-1978 by Bruce Bastin:
Wayne cut four sides on May 4 with Van Alexander's Orchestra but oddly, the initial coupling, for a June 1942 release, failed to include the tune for which Davis had started the company! Beacon 100 backed "Indiana Blues", a tune Davis had written with the niece of trombonist J.C. Higginbotham, Irene Higginbotham, with a ballad "This Will Be A Lonesome Summer"...
"The Watchman Fell Asleep" backed by ... "Sweetheart Serenade", originally scheduled for Beacon 101, finally went public in December 1942 on Beacon 108. ...

Billboard Dec 12, 1942, p. 66 (The Week's Best Releases)
