[78-L] Burl Ives ^

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Damn if Wikipedia doesn't have it right!
He recorded "Behind The Clouds" in Richmond on July 23, 1929, matrix #GE 
15380. Most tests were assigned a matrix number and that's where I 
started to look. Whether or not a test is still in existence is 
questionable. Wiki says it was destroyed, but that really IS meaningless!
So now we know.
