[78-L] Al Duffy

[David Lennick]

Whoa! My copy is definitely better than that. But I'd still stick with the LP 
issue (Canadian pressing on Sparton is very good). My 78 set has only one blue 
label disc, with the others being red & gold.

>> OK, Ok, stop the presses. I had the record in my own library all along: "Hot Fiddle Classics " by Al Duffy & his Rhythmasters on Musicraft 66. Signorelli on piano, Shopnick on bass, and Mottola on guitar. The album is filled with hot versions of classical standards. The other titles are Poet & Peasant Overture, Salut a Pesth, Anitra's Dance, and Danza Delle Ore.

>>> Bruyninckx does list the Duffy sides, but only identifies Duffy as the violinist; none of the other 3 musicians nor a recording date. It shows only the Royale release as a source. Was this ever on a "real" label? I wouldn't keep asking about these sides if they weren't so good. Duffy did one other sesssion in 1938 but this sounds at least a decade later.
