[78-L] Who's still with us?

[soundthink at aol.com]

Now that we've entered a new year, I'll pose my annual question: who is still alive who made records in the 1920s and 1930s? Rose Marie is definitely one - she's 85. I believe western swing bandleader Jimmie Meek (OKeh and Decca's Sons of the West) is still with us, and he'll be 98 this year.

Cary Ginell

Probably the most recent sighting of Rose Marie is in the documentary that 
accompanies the "Jazz Singer" DVD. Our boy Vince Giordano can also be seen in 
that production (not looking ancient at all).
