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

[Taylor Bowie]

The Pendarvis MacGregors that I either have or know of are all from 1934 - 
1936.  The Anson Weeks are,  I think,  all from 1932,  but I'm not 100% sure 
on that.

In any case,  I'm glad that some of the rest of the country did get to enjoy 
Paul P & Orch in person.
