[78-L] Mart Kenney questions

[Taylor Bowie]

Yes,  I know.  One of my books has a Kenney discography but I can't recall 
which one.  It isn't the picture book on Canadian dance bands or the book 
written by Kenney himself. Can anyone jar my memory and tell me where that 
Kenney discog is printed?   I have been fortunate to pick up about a  dozen 
Canadian pressings which I have in addition to the American issue Bluebird 
which I mentioned.

Most copies I've found of There's Honey On The Moon have some buzzing in the 
higher registers,  esp. when the girl singer,  Georgia Day,  hits the word 
"bus" in the release...makes it sound like she's singing "We won't need a 
boat,  a motor car,  or a BUZZ."

I just counted and I  have twelve Kenney 78s...the first five are American 
Bluebirds (two 7000 series,  three 10000 series) and others (all later) are 
Canadian pressings on either Bluebird or Victor.  One of the last ones is In 
Love In Vain so that dates from 1947,  I think.

I have one "mystery" record by him....but I'm sure one of you can clear up 
the mystery for me.  It looks like late 40s and is on some sort of blue 
label but there are stickers covering the label name and I don't want to rip 
them off.  It's #T-13437 and T-13438.  Tunes areWhen I Get Back To Calgary 
b/w Down in Nashville,  Tennessee.  The bottom of the label says "Canadian 
Music Sales Corp. Ltd.  Toronto,  Canada."

So what is this label?  Also...were there Canadian issues of the two 7000 
Bluebirds?  I've only seen the American issues of those two.

Thanks from

Taylor
