[78-L] had a good 78 day

[Glenn Longwell]

Hi Bill,

Thanks but that wasn't a typo.  It really is 1111, not 111.  I noticed Gart's book didn't suggest any four digit catalog numbers either.  I'll send you a scan of the label off list.

Glenn

Congrats on 111.  These are hard to find.

I've got Time 109, 126, 131, 136, and 137.

The Krazy Kat cd "Diggin': Hot, Small Label Texas Swing 1946-1955" contains
Time 103 and says it is from late 1946 or early 1947.

Another Krazy Kat cd "Wanderers Swing: Texas Dance Hall Music" contains Time
109 from 1949, Time 116 from 1950, and Time 130 from 1951-52.

So maybe Time 111 would be 1949 or 1950.
