No,  Steven,  not in this case.  If you had read my entire post,  you would 
have noted that I had established that Mark Fisher (a real person,  long 
part of the Chicago music scene) WAS leading a band at the hotel at the time 
the four sides were made.

Nor do the sides resemble any Selvins from '32 or '33.   They have a very 
crisp and swinging sound,  with very distinctive soloists.

If anyone has any actual info,  please let me know.
