[78-L] Bud Roman..Who he?.. [FWD]

[Dan Van Landingham]

Scatman Crothers cut an album called "Rock and Roll With Scatman Crothers".Al Hendrickson was on
guitar,Jack Sperling on drums,Babe Russin on tenor sax but I can't remember the names of the bassist
and pianist.Just before Al died in 2007,a friend of his sent him a CD copy of it.The album consisted of
standards.

Tops used real names, to my knowledge..Scatman Crothers is on a number of 
tracks on those 4-tune EP 78s. Mimi Martel was on World Transcriptions in the 
50s, and definitely at a time when World was using real names.
