[78-L] Joe Venuti Discography Wiki

[David Lewis]

Mr. Lennick:
Sorry, I meant the Garrod Discography lists "Danse Macabre" as Tempo 416, 
"Skeleton at Midnight" as Tempo 4530, both backed with "It Ain't Necessarily 
So". (I also have it on a red vinyl Tempo lp, not listed in the discography at 
all.)

Thanks for the update. I have duly recorded the info on my page. 

Don't want to keep you up all night typing, but does Garrod say anything else about Joe's Tempos? Here is all
the data I have on them.

Joe Venuti and his violin. Italy's two greatest accordionists/Wolmer Beltrami and Francesco Ferrari. (Tempo TT-2056, 1950s)

Joe Venuti and Bobby Maxwell (Tempo TT-2236; 1950s)

Alexander's ragtime band -- It ain't necessarily so -- Caravan -- Dance macabre (with Brother Bones) -- Honeysuckle rose -- September song -- Busybody -- Meet me tonight in Dreamland

Come to think of it, "Loose Bow Boogie" is probably pretty interesting also.
