[78-L] Vocalist query on Ben Selvin 'My mom', Columbia 2628-D.

[David Lennick]

ROY GOBEY, according to the Columbia Books. Now you know as much as I do.

One other thing..two matrix numbers earlier, Kate Smith recorded "My Mom". 
Unreleased, date unknown, take unknown, accompaniment unknown.

For some reason there's a gap of close to three weeks between W152110 and 
W152112. Kate's recording is 152111...it probably took them that long to 
fumigate the studio.
