Subject: [78-L] I found Lizzy Miles

I'm about two weeks behind on reading my 78 list messages.  One reason is
I'm still  sorting and listening to the large collection of records I
picked up for almost nothing at a couple recent auctions.  What prompts this
post is  a record I  just  played, Lizzy Miles, Hot Songs my Mother Taught
Me. It's an LP, but I'm blown away by this woman's voice. Do not recall
ever  knowing about her, which is  a shame as well as  amazing.  Internet
search says she was born  Landreaux in New Orleans,   died in 1963, recorded
from about 1910, found fame in Paris as the Creole Songbird, etc.   Her
easy,  distinctive delivery on old standards  is just wonderful to my ear.
Anyone  know of any 78s she recorded?
