[78-L] Telling it to the daisies

[Cary Ginell]

Strictly speaking, nobody recorded for Montgomery Ward. All releases on the label were licensed deals for releases sold in their mail order catalog, and, I presume, at their stores - approximately 90% of the releases were from Victor masters, with minor runs from the Decca catalog, which included reissues of Gennett/Champion material acquired by Decca in 1935.

> 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?
