And that was Fredda Gibson (Georgia Gibbs). Really confusing. Of course maybe 
their thinking was "What kind of name for a blues singer is Marion Abernathy?"

> What do we know about Marion Abernathy, aka The Blues woman? I just picked this up today..Juke Box 502, first Juke Box pressing I've ever seen that didn't have a million cracks or other defects. Looks as if it was cut and pressed by Capitol (or Radio Recorders and Allied) instead of the usual cheapo Joe Davis cronies.Allen Durham (tb) Buddy Banks (ts) Eddie Beal (p) Frosty Pyles (g) Ernie Shepard (b) Monk McFay (d) Marion Abernathy (vcl)1945 Voo-it voo-t Juke Box 502 Cryin' blues -Many of her other sessions with Buddy Banks, Bob Mosely and Karl George are in Los Angeles so is the above one likely recorded there as well? Lord 7.0 doesn't say (my subscription to Lord Online has expired so I'm back with the old CD-ROM version). She's identified only as The Blues Woman on the Juke Box labels..how come?dl_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
