[78-L] First country recording?

[L78rpm at aol.com]

Have you heard Barton's "Julie" and "Lena"?   They remind me a  bit of what 
early Jimmy Rodgers did in songs about women.
 
I wish they were available on the jukebox, but they're not.

I thing  this discussion is great because I have had many of these same 
questions  for decades as I came across the records and previous 
writings.  Some  of this discussion parallels discussions of the 
authenticity of Polk  Miller.
