[78-L] Mr. Fred of the Hummingbird Co.

[Taylor Bowie]

Yes,  it is Bernie Cummins,  and is announced as such on the record by the 
President of the Hummingbird Mills,  a Mr. T. Wilson Fred (that's what he 
says his name is).

Mr. Fred also says somewhere on the record that the folks who work at the 
mills are just like the folks who buy Hummingbird stockings:  "White folks, 
clean-cut...like you and me."

The Cummins version of "Sam" is very good,  BTW.

Funny that I have bought two copies of this record and both times the seller 
indicated that they had no idea who the orch. was...guess they didn't bother 
to play the thing!
