1931 16-inch shellac Columbias.  They probably were extension spotting 
from the CBS network program, but we're still not sure if they are 
line-checks of the network programs or special recording sessions.  
Jerry Valburn had one but had already sold it by the time I dubbed his 
tape and he had not written down the matrix number.  I have those LPs 
also, and I think there are a few other programs in circulation.
