A Curious Mix With Absolutely No Information,

First of all, this compilation, released by Highland Music of Dearborn, Michigan in 1989, contains no liner notes whatsoever so, in several instances concerning selections not immediately recognizable, you're left wondering in what year of the 1940s they were alleged "hits."

The message portrayed in Tylers music really gives you the feeling that somewhere, somehow, someone really cares about you. And I think the message is put forth in such a manner as to say "Be A Man" Thank you I hope you enjoy this album.
