[78-L] 78 collectors

[Sammy Jones]

That's right!  My copy was not at hand, and so I didn't bother to look it up.  Any idea when that record of "Vagabond Lover" was recorded?

Sammy,

The latter is by Jack Miller,  a fine singer and piano player who was 
accompanist to Kate Smith for some time.  He made a lot of vocal records for 
the Harmony labels and a few sides for Okeh...a light voice but very musical 
and expressive.

I recently purchased his Okeh version of When Your Lover Has Gone (under the 
name Vic Lewis)...just voice and (I assume) his own piano.  Superb version 
of a wonderful song.
