While we're on Romeos... anyone have the vocalist for the following disc? Romeo 358.

A-side is "Nesting Time" by the Troubadors (surely not the VIctor house band?) mx 2345D3
B-side is "Ain't She Sweet" by Lynn Cowan & His Boulevard Theatre Orchestra, mx 166A1.

Recording year is 1927...

Ideas?

Dick Dixon is usually Dick Roberson.
