[78-L] A Billy Murray Tribute?!

[Bud Black]

Years ago, while I was passing through Richmond, Indiana, I visited the
grave site of Singin' Sam (Al Frankel).  Engraved on his plaque (which was
in the form of an old radio microphone) were these words, "Howdy folks, here
s your old friend Singin' Sam."  Since he was a Richmond native, I'm sure he
s on the Walk Of Fame, and he did record for Gennett.

    I agree.  If Billy Murray recorded for Gennett, he should definitely be
included on their Walk of Fame.  I need to get down there and check the Walk
out.  I know it includes Dalhart.       Jack
