[78-L] Mills Blue Rhythm to PAUL PENDARVIS?

[Harold Aherne]

Pendarvis was at the Aragon and the Trianon in Chicago in Jan-Feb 1938, 
according to Chicago Tribune articles of the time. His 11/34 and 2/35 recordings
have C-matrix numbers; the ones made later have the SF prefix. Dunno if the C
stands for Chicago, since I don't have the ADBD handy, and the numbers are
in an 800-900 sequence rather than the usual ARC series of the time. It 
looks like the Ted Weems sides in the same series were done in Chicago.
 
When was MacGregor in operation? Inquiring minds...

Hmm...Id' read this in Klink but had forgotten.  I've never seen any
other 
mention of his "long run in KC or any of those other places.  I'm not
saying 
Klink is wrong,  but I know that Pendarvis mostly stuck to the coast,  where 
all of his records were made (I think...too lazy to go in the other room to 
look in Rust).

He made the handful of Columbias but most of his records (several dozen) 
were for the not-sold-to-public MacGregor,  used for radio broadcasts. 
Those are his best records....just as some of the the Anson Weeks MacGregors 
are his best sides.

Thanks for digging up that info,  Al.
