[78-L] Attorney General? was The most commonly found 78s, was Re: 1st Family

[David Lennick]

A similar notice (not the same wording, I think) appears on some versions of 
Lili Marlene..had to do with the song being German but claimed as war booty by 
the Allies.

Too Fat Polka..not that often for me. Rosetta Howard's "Ebony Rhapsody"/"When I 
Been Drinking" used to turn up everywhere in Toronto in the 60s.
