[78-L] fwd: Art van Damme

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

I have the Discovery Shearing  78 album and 10-inch LP. I forget what’s 
on them. Decades ago, many musicians got a start playing the accordion, 
especially in certain ethnic neighborhoods here in the States. 
Brooklyn-born Barry Manilow started out on accordion. Gene Joslin 
mentions Buster Moten soloing with Benny Moten’s orchestra. Buster as 
“Bus Moten” also recorded for Capitol. I have the record, Captol 70017: 
Bus Moten and His Men:  It’s Hard to Laugh or Smile/I Ain’t Gonna Give 
Nobody None of My Jelly Roll. Also Capitol 70033: On the Gravy 
Train/Gone. The LoC has neither record.
