There are quite a few classical-music V-Discs; some are studio  
recordings, while others are from radio broadcasts. The V-Disc  
discography by Sears is quite enlightening, if you can find a copy.

I played that Ziggy Elman Bluebird on my first "Swing Session" radio  
program back in June 1978...time to get it out again and transfer it...

I'm an Oregonian, but farther north (Gresham); never been as far  
south as Roseburg.

Take care,


Joe
