If I recall correctly, Billy Murray was called Cy Pitman on an Edison
electric.  The title, however, escapes me at the moment.

  "Henry Burr was another one of those singers to recorded for at least a
dozen different companies just as Billy Murray,Irving Kaufman, Vernon
Dalhart did between the late teens and the late twenties".
 
 
 
I know this about Kaufmann, Burr and Dalhart, but what pseudonyms did Billy
Murray ever use? (with a unique voice like that, how could HE use another
name and get away with it!?)
 
 
 
BTW, the annual Gennett Walkway Of Stars in Richmond IN last weekend was a
wonderful occasion. Ernest & Hattie Stoneman were doubly honored by their
beautiful new plaque and amusical appearance by their surviving children
Patsy, Donna and Roni (the "ironing board lady" on "Hee Haw.")

onion. And one otherwise refined lady claims that MOXIE tastes like a dirty
ashtray. Which raises the question: how many ashtrays has she lapped
lately?!" --The Book Of Moxie, by Frank N. Potter
