[78-L] Thornton W. Burgess 78

[David Lennick]

I have that one and at least one other. He made several recordings at the same 
session in November 1916, issued on consecutive numbers A7524/8. "Beautiful 
Pine" was recorded later in September 1917 and since it's on the first disc, 
the whole series must have been held for a while. There was one unissued side 
from the 1916 batch.
