[78-L] Freddy or... r

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Alright... RayK says all of his are "Freddy" and Julian says all his are 
as "Freddie."
I'M CONFUSED!
Martin recorded 5 records (4 issues and one test) that can be considered 
Hawaiian, mostly by title.

1) "My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii" on Vo 2643 (which is as 
by Fred Stone ahO), De F 3909 (UK) and Winner W 99 (UK) (as by Sleepy 
Hall and His Collegians);
2) "Down Where The Trade Winds Blow" on Br 8045, Co FB 2013 (UK) and 
Regal Zonophone G 23392 (Aus);
3) "Sand" on BB B-10567;
4) "Blue Hawaiian Rose" on Vi 20-2709; and
5) The test is "Princess Poo-Poo-Ly Has Plenty Pa-Pa-Ya", mx 042288-1-2, 
rec. in Hollywood on Dec. 11, 1939.

If Julian and Ray, and anyone else who actually has the 78rpm records, 
can let me know which artist credits are for Freddy and which are for 
Freddie that would be wonderful, and I can bring the Martin entries in 
the Hawaiian discog up to date.
Thanks!
