[78-L] I found Lizzy Miles

[Taylor Bowie]

How do you suppose "they" came up with the statement that she started 
recording around 1910?

One of my faves of Lizzie's is her 1929 record on Harmony of "Georgia 
Gigolo" issued as by "Jasper Davis and his Orchestra."   I like the way she 
enunciates each word so clearly without sounding forced...a great singer.
