[78-L] Oh, da shark bites wif it's teefs, dear

[David Lennick]

The entire set is Ultraphon/Telefunken A752/5. If I could find the Pearl CD 
reissue, it would show the matrix numbers..or if I could find the 2 78s I have 
from the set..I doubt that the soloist is identified anywhere, and I've had 
that set on about a dozen issues (LP, CD).

Speaking of Hawaiian guitar in odd contexts, have you ever noted Shostakovich's 
"Waltz" from "The Golden Mountains" Op. 30 with Efrem Kurtz and the New York 
Philharmonic? (Columbia 12881-D, ML 4233)? Also by Uriev's Orchestra on USSR 
13266, a disc I've been looking for forever, but I don't know if it uses the 
guitar.
