[78-L] Chautauqua Preacher’s Quartette on Columbia A series

[Rodger Holtin]

I have a soft spot in my shellac heart for acappella gospel/hymns from the 78 era.  I’ve picked up a few by the Chautauqua Preacher’s Quartet.  I have 6 of the 16 sides they made on Columbia and two more on Perfect 11020.  Certainly better performances that one would expect from amateurs.  I’d love to know more about these guys but can’t find much on the ol’ net except one side of that old Perfect on u-tube.  I’m guessing anybody with any Columbia catalogs from 1914-16 era might be the only hope.  Any help appreciated.
