[78-L] Vocal interjections on Joseph C. Smith records

[Don Chichester]

In checking Rust's ADBD, the session for 10-22-19 is omitted!  Rust missed the Taxi!  
Does anyone have the full info on that Victor session?

>  
> Rainy Day Blues (B-22750-3, issued on Vic 18561, 23 Apr. 1919)
> --one voice intones "rainy blues, rainy blues..." at appropriate points in the song
>  
> Yellow Dog Blues (B-23282-1, issued on Vic 18618, 1 Oct. 1919)
> --laughing is heard ("yah-hah-hah-hah-hah!", answered by Harry Raderman's trombone) 
>  
> Taxi (B-23306-3, issued on Vic 18640, 22 Oct. 1919)
> --one voice shouts "Taxi! Taxi!"
>  
> The Red Hot Jazz page for JSC's orchestra (see below) credits Smith himself with 
> "laughing", so he may be the voice on "Yellow Dog Blues". The voice on "Taxi" has a
> similar timbre to the laughter, so Smith may have done the honours there as well. The 
> EDVR gives no vocal credits for the above sides.
