[78-L] Hawaiian War Chant redux

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Hey, Gene -
I have the Armstrong record (rec. January 1930 on OKeh 41375 and 17 
succeeding reissues, worldwide). It's pretty good but there are better, 
in my estimation.
Don't know about "The Lei Of The Last Minstrel", though. Never heard of 
that. Are you sure that's not "The Lay Of The Last Minstrel"? Sounds 
like a piece of British doggerel.
