[78-L] Ken Griffin

He lurked in the subterranean grottos underneath the Des Moines Orpheum, a hideous monstrosity who only emerged to see Ritz Brothers features from his special Seat 5 in the lower left loge and practice on the theatre's disused cipher-ridden 3-manual Morton after the house emptied, gradually shifting to local station KRUD's Hammond with bad sound generators, until he could blackmail record mogul Rodolfo Rondo into becoming his label's principal artist...

Even back when I first started collecting 78s as a pre-teen,  poor old Ken

He made so many records...is there any bio information on him?

He is like the instrumental version of singer Jim Harkins,  who seems to be
on about 3/4 of the Electrdisk dance sides,  and is terrible on all of them!
