[78-L] Gotham Rhythm Boys info?

[Malcolm Rockwell]

No.
The Aristocrats on Banner, et al, are NOT The Four Aristocrats on Victor 
and Columbia. The Aristocrats is an as yet unknown vocal group with Andy 
Sannella playing steel guitar. The difference in playing technique is 
obvious. The Four Aristocrats' steel player was Eddie Lewis for all 
three years they recorded. Other band members rotated out (so to speak) 
but Lewis remained through them all.
