[78-L] First 78

[Cary Ginell]

Well, the first cabinet you come upon when entering my record room is the pre-war hillbilly 78s. I file them alphabetically by artist. Artists are grouped in separate sections if I have more than 5 by one artist. For artists with less than 5 discs, I file them by letter. So the first one in the miscellaneous "A" category is "Footprints in the Snow"/"New Birmingham Jail" by Big Slim Aliff on Decca 5316.
On the opposite side of the room, the upper-left-hand shelf starts with pre-war blues and the first record there is "Bell Cow Blues"/"Boe Hog Blues" by Texas Alexander on OKeh 8563 (in pretty nice shape, I might add).
