Folks,
I'm compiling a Dick Todd (1914 - 1975?) discography by pulling
details from the Settelmaier online pages and hints from a biography by
Sheldon O'Connell. The biography is obviously a work of much industry,
but sadly never saw a proofreader. The mishmash of contradicting entries
and inconsistent song abbreviations make it more of a frustration than an
aid. I'm taking all secondhand details with a grain of salt until I've
acquired and heard the record for myself.
I'm going to keep plugging away with this unless someone can show
me that it has already been done. I'm also going to compile his radio
appearances, as best as possible. His radio shows demonstrate his humour,
which makes him more interesting than his records alone. As a singer he's
more of a "groaner" than Bing himself.
