[78-L] "Over The Rainbow" CORRECTION!

[Mark Hendrix 78L]

Hello, David:

I'm simply counting the sides you listed plus the ones beyond those, listed
in Ruppli's discography, including the unissued take. All of the sides you
listed are in the discography, too. That makes 33.

I don't know about, and didn't count, the sides that seem like Blue Pages
material, but would like to know more. ;) Ruppli doesn't have a title index
(thanks, thanks a lot), rarely lists accompanying musicians (cf. Cliff
Bolling's earlier question about Janet Brace), and besides, the titles David
Diehl mentioned are not listed under any Hank Penny session that I can find.
Mr. Ruppli's discographies are useful, but tend to be rather slapdash, in my
opinion.

I'm sure Syd Nathan never reissued "Over the Rainbow" because he couldn't
bear paying the copyright royalties.  Too bad; it's a lovely version.  I've
only heard it on one of those Hawthorn broadcasts that Andrea Walsh
uploaded.

As to your question "why a CD [company] would then issue only 25 and not go
for 'da woiks,'" you know better perhaps than anyone on this list what goes
on in the dark hearts of those who  reissue back catalog on CDs!

PS, sorry to hear about the shards in the mail!
