[78-L] Starr-Gennett Walk Of Fame (Part 2)

[Bill Knowlton]

In my haste to report on the installations in the Starr-Gennett Walk of Fame last Saturday in Richmond, IN, I failed to mention that I had the honor of presenting Wendell Hall in the proceedings, and for Bradley Kincaid I joined his son Jim in the ceremony.

 

Speaking of Gennett Records, I see in Hoffman-Carty-Riggs bio of Billy Murray that he recorded "I'll See You In C-U-B-A" for Gennett in 1920.

 

Do any Listers have information on any other Gennett cuts Billy might have made? I'd like to put his name in for a future plaque in the Walk Of Fame


AND--if there are any Gennett-Champion sessions by other recording pioneers---Henry Burr, Irving Kaufman, Arthur Fields, etc.--I'd sure like to know about them.

 

Thanks!

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
