[78-L] Youngest to record on 78 rpm (was Alicia de Larrocha, RIP)

[David Lennick]

As the youngest to have recorded on 78? I think the question is misworded. 
Don't we want to know the youngest possible person to have been among the last 
to record on a 78? Anonymous kids on the Frank Chacksfield "Children's Marching 
Song" (if that was on 78, and I suspect it was in Canada) or Max Bygraves' 
"Gotta Have Rain" (ditto) might qualify. Patience and Prudence were already 
over ten when they recorded, so they're out.
