[78-L] Well EXCUUUUUUSE MEEEEE!!!

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Interesting points on both sides.
Sometimes compilations of one artist's 78 output, such as Jimmie 
Rodgers, are really hard for me to listen to because a lot of the tunes 
are in the same key. The ear tires quickly of that and, after 3 or 4 
tunes, the material begins to run together. Blues artist, too. That's 
why, when sequencing, I try to mix up keys as much as possible, even if 
dating linearity suffers.

I have found Robbins to be the least repetitive of any country singer - he could and did sing anything, from straight country to Hawaiian, blues, pop, rockabilly, Jimmie Rodgers blue yodels, folk songs, western story songs, and much more.
