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"!
