RE: Skeets Tolbert - where to check him is on the Jimmy Gunn 78's from 
1936 on Bluebird, better than anything else he did (the "Uncle Eph's 
Dream" on Decca is better than most of the Gentleman of Swing - funny, 
the movie short sounds better than any of their 78's even if it is still 
commercial).
=============
Just played the Gunns. Can't say Tolbert does much. His playing reminds 
of the advice that the less inventive British dance band musicians were 
given when they had to take a solo: "Stand up and twiddle your fingers!"

The main interest for me is the Orlando Roberson-style vocal by Stan 
Jennings on "My Blue Heaven"!
