[78-L] Oldest Happy Birthday Recording----SOUGHT

[Martin Fisher]

Hey Folks,

Thanks to all who responded to this inquiry.  Now I can say that the Center 
for Popular Music is "desperately seeking" a hard copy to utilize for our 
25th anniversary.

Any leads appreciated.

Thanks!

Martin

I've never seen one older than the one by Ray Nichols & his Four Towers 
Orchestra on Bluebird B-5921. This is from 1935, the year the Hill Sisters 
were able to copyright the song.
