[78-L] Standard Radio Transcription 1028/1029

[78records at cdbpdx.com]

Thanks for this great info!  So this transcription is a product of the 1930s Depression / prohibition era?  I thought the reference to Swing Shifters might have put it in WWII era.  Still haven't found much about Carol Gilbert.

Thanks!  CDB

Jack Frost was a popular brand of sugar in the Depression era -- and I 
believe they were the sponsor of this particular program.
