Turning over the leaves of his diary in strict tempo, Alexander Spinnle Shanks, Esquire, of Aberdeen, recalls the time when he aspired to the title of Mister Rhythm Man.

Alexander Spinnle Shanks, Esquire, was never anything if not topical. He was ever in the van of progress, even if that van sometimes turned out to be the police one. His experiences as a dance band leader and his attempt to capture first place in a dance band contest cover very interesting leaves in his monumental diary, and it is these leaves that he will turn over tonight for the delectation of Scottish listeners.
