And which became Nellie Lutcher's big hit "Hurry On Down". dl

>> I have noted in discographies Bill Boyd's Bb B-6109-B is shown as David Blues, an instrumental, and wonder if this could possibly be a retitling of Elmer Schoebel's House of David Blues, recorded by several bands in the 20s? There are other examples of mangled tiles in Boyd's opus, eg. Ace In The Hole becoming An Ace. Although the A side, Boyd's Blues has been re-issued on LP and CD, David Blues has not, and so I am unable to check my speculation. Could someone who has the disc check for me, or even supply an MP3?
