[78-L] Tappin' in the rain

[Malcolm Rockwell]

It is probably Frank Ferera.
Sannella recorded the tune for Grey Gull, but the instrumentation is wrong.
Smeck never recorded it under his name or any other pseudonym I can find.
The instrumentation for Harmony 991-H, as by Ferera's Golden Hawaiians, 
is poss. unk. violin; unk. trumpet; Frank Ferera, steel guitar; prob. 
John K. Paaluhi, guitar; and unk. tuba. All of that fits your criteria. 
It was recorded in New York on August 16, 1929.

> I have a Presto dated May 1938 of a girl named Geraldine tap dancing to a record of Singing In the Rain.  It sure sounds to me like Roy Smeck, but don't find a listing of the tune under his name.  It opens with Hawaiian guitar solo, then muted trumpet, and back to the guitar for the wrap-up,  I can discern tuba in the back but otherwise is pretty much guitar and trumpet.  Sound familiar to anybody out there??
