[78-L] Oscar & Austin/Auston

[David Lennick]

Interesting coincidence! Both names are spelled correctly, but Lord shows 
nothing for Austin before 1973. Auston Roberts is on many of Oscar's Canadian 
Victors and the transcriptions recorded for RCI in 1951..I don't see Austin 
listed anywhere as recording with him.

Okay, I see what's happened...whoever compiled this discography (which is 
absolutely useless..no matrix numbers, all of which are in Lord) confused the 
two musicians. It's Auston, playing bass, in 1951..and not on Clef but on CBC 
transcriptions which are now on CD.
