[78-L] Columbia No. 3587, NOT Bob Roberts record after all

[victrola78s at aol.com]

In finally going through boxes of some 2,000 78s I bought in April, I came across Columbia Record No. 3587( Grand Prize Highest Possible Award, etc.), which is supposed to be "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do", written by Cahill & Burt, sung by Bob Roberts. It is actually a band tune-no vocals at all. The numbers in the land are 3584-2-2 & above that 14-1348-2. Above the label & upside down is "Patented Nov.25 1902". Someone did mark "band" on the label, in the 7 o'clock position. And naturally I don't recognize the tune itself. Any takers as to the recording date & performers involved". I was looking forward to Bob Roberts, dad-burn it. Ever since I heard "Nothin' from Nothin' Leaves You" when I was eight I've been hooked on this performer.
