[78-L] Lincoln Records

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Interesting. I've got at least a dozen Lincolns - all Hawaiian and 
mostly Frank Ferera, that very prolific Hawaiian steel guitarist. He was 
Portuguese and was born on Oahu - we have a large Portuguese community 
here in Hawaii - on June 12, 1885. He lived and recorded in NYC, of course.
In any case I was surprised to find that they are somewhat obscure, 
mostly because I'm used to 'em!
