[78-L] Dick Robertson, PP, Jaudas, Erdody

[Taylor Bowie]

I know what you mean,  Dan.  I imagine the quickest way I could employ a 
buzzkill at a record collector's party would be to mention my enthusiasm for 
the Paul Pendarvis Orchestra,  on Columbia but mostly on MacGregor in 
1934-35.

PP is on my mind as I recently added four more MacGregors of his to my 
collection,  along with about a hundred other MacGs including sides by Bart 
Woodyard,  Henry King,  Sterling Young,  and other bands few seem to care 
about.

I would be interested to hear more about Jaudas,  esp. if there are any of 
his records you think are of particular merit.  I've recently discovered 
that many of the early 20s sides by Erdody are quite good as well...and that 
he was responsible for the music for a lot of "B" movies in the 40s, 
including the legendary  "Detour" directed by Edgar G.  Ulmer.
