You’re right about the moustache looking fake, but I don’t think that’s David Seville. Looks like a ragtime piano album; every company in the late 50’s put out tons of ’em. Joe “Fingers” Carr (Lou Bush) and Knuckles O’Toole (Dick Hyman) inspired tons of aliased imitators, from Happy O’Halloran to The Crazy Guy to (so help me) Barrel-Fingers Barry! (Not Manilow, I don’t think…)

Who is Happy Pierre? The moutache looks fake. (Might it be David Seville? Dave recorded for the same label at this time.)
