[78-L] Corrections for Decca 17000 Cajun series titles (for Tyrone)

Thu Jun 10 08:49:31 PDT 2010

Tyrone,

Most releases on the 17000 Cajun series had French/Arcadian titles, not English titles, as you have it. Here are corrections for the song titles in your listing, which includes English translations as written on the labels (misspellings are intact) or my own translations. The titles come from either actual copies of the 78s (preferred), label copy in the Decca files (2nd choice) or secondary sources (last option).
