[78-L] Canadian Columbia Double Disk promo record

[Dan Van Landingham]

If I remember correctly,I had a VIctor acoustic of Burr singing the song "Honest and Truly".
I am more intrested in trying to find a Victor acoustic of "Roses of Picardy";I had it years
ago.It was a lovely arrangement played by the "Green Arden Orchestra".I remember the
arrangement and from memory,I was able to play the better part of the arrangement on my
violin.Another recording I am looking for is a Brunswick electrical of "Mon Homme" by a
trio that called themselves "The Castle Trio".The latter was violin,either viola or 'cello and
piano.I cracked it years ago and later discarded it.That record was one I also remembered
somewhat and also learned to play on my violin.It,too,was a lovely version.It seems to me
Henry Burr was another one of those singers to recorded for at least a dozen different co-
mpanies just as Billy Murray,Irving Kaufmann,Vernon Dalhart did between the late teens
and the late twenties.

The Canadian promo usually turns up with Goodbye Little Girl, Goodbye (Henry 
Burr) on the back, priced at 25 cents..I haven't seen it with a Prince's Band 
patriotic side. That must be from after September 1914.

Has anyone (hint, Barr) ever listed all the Canadian Patriotic Columbias?
