[78-L] Popular Gennett Recording Artists

[Bill Knowlton]

 "Although if Murray got on the Gennett Walk of Fame, I think Henry Burr should deserve a spot too -- go ahead, laugh, moan, complain, throw chairs, but he has excellent credentials, and there's plenty of proof for me to support this claim."

 

You're absolutely right and I hope that can eventually happen. Our "foot in the door," however, will have to be our campaign for Billy Murray.

 

I see by a 1919 reprint of "Talking Machine World" that Henry Burr, the Criterion Quartet, Golden & Hughes, and the Green Brothers' Xylophone Orchestra had Gennetts released in July of that year. So did Sybil Sanderson Fagan and that's certainly something to whistle about (sorry, couldn't resist)..

 

BTW I was at the Homer Rhodeheaver plaque unveiling so he's definitely in the Gennett Walk Of Fame. Am fairly certain I saw a Red Nichols plaque too....
