[78-L] Gennett Question

[Bill Knowlton]

As some of you know, I'm involved as a volunteer in some of the activities of Richmond IN's Starr Gennett Foundation and its walkway of stars. The walkway is in the gorge that once hosted the Starr Piano Company and the Gennett Recording Studios.

 

Rright now I'm starting a movement to place Billy Murray in that walkway; hopefully it'll happen in 2011.

 

This brings to mind the fact that the walkway properly emphasizes the jazz, blues and country artists who recorded for Gennett; now it should take a look at the popular artists of the 1900-1935 era (in addition to Billy Murray who made Gennett recordings.

 

Can anyone identify other popular singers who recorded for Gennett; a la Irving Kaufman, Henry Burr, Arthur Fields, et.al?

 

I thank you!
