[78-L] Telling it to the daisies

[Stephen Davies]

... but it never gets back to you.

    Sorry, I have a collection of small questions here.

    Thanks, DL, for answering me about Wilf. Carter.  He also re-recorded some tunes for Montgomery Ward. (or else Victor leased them out.  How probable would that be?)

    Still in the category of "it sounded so nice, they recorded it twice"....

    Bernie Cummins & his New Yorker Hotel Orch recorded "Telling it to the daisies" Victor 22408, 1930-apr-16, with Karl Radlach at the piano.
    One day later, 1930-apr-17, Karl Radlach & his Orch recorded it for the generic disc pool, resulting in Banner 669 and Conqueror 7535.
    Victor can't have been very happy about that, right?

    My copy is from the U.K. Imperial label.  It's backed by Lou Gold & his Orch "Swingin' in a hammock".  This tune was co-composed by Tot Seymour.  What's Tot short for?
