On most of these labels we're lucky if we can figure out the MONTH, let 
alone the wee, date, or if it was before or after lunch.  The Victor 
ledges are goldmines of info, bit often when there are some paperwork on 
other companies, such as Gennett, they didn't write this info down in 
the first place!  There are some datebooks of performers and managers 
which have occasionally yielded this kind of info for small label 
sessions, but most discographers are happy enough to just know the date!

Eons from now researchers will find on our message headers what time of 
day we wrote our postings.  GOOD GRIEF!!  It's almost 3AM!  What the 
hell am I doing up?
