Tunes I have promised
Aircraftman Reginald Dixon began his career as church organist at the Birley Carr parish church, near Sheffield, went to Chesterfield as a pianist, and on to Sheffield where he played first the piano, then the straight organ. He was solo organist for the first time in the Isle of Man. But it was at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, that he made his name, and almost everyone must have heard him play his signature tune ' I do like to be beside the seaside '. Since joining the R.A.F. his place at the Tower has been taken by Ena Baga.
