Was discussing recordings about the murder of Marian Parker on another list when it dawned on me that the real first name of Vernon Dalhart, who made more recordings about grisly murders and tragedies than anyone, is "Marion," and that his middle and last names are "Try Slaughter."
 
Holy coincidence, Batman.
