[78-L] I found Lizzy Miles (1923 You tube posting)

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Here is one I just posted. I believe this was about her 5th record done in 1923. It is an acoustic Brunswick.

This one is being played on a Victor VV-VI Victrola using a fibre needle. Her Pianist is Spencer Williams.

She made dozens of sides in the 20s for almost every label you could think 
of. I've never heard one that was less than excellent.
