[78-L] Pathe Records Questions

[Bart]

Thank you very much.  "Petillo" is not an uncommon name, so searching 
for "Petillo" by itself returned too much noise, but with the first name 
and the last name I was able to find a recording of "Florida" almost 
immediately - one of the first google listings was for a tango website 
that had no real information about Raimundo Petillo but could stream 
Victor 38536 by Orchestra Juan D'Arienzo.  Different disc, different 
label, presumably different performer but at least I have a sense now of 
what the tune sounds like.

I got to speak with the fellow who gave me the disc last night.  Seems 
he once had the idea of collecting tango records, so it was the 
"Florida" or the fact that it was a "tango Milano" that induced him to 
acquire the disk in the first place, not the "Allo! Cheri!" side.
