It was an unreleased Diamond Disk and the "singer's" name was Ethel 
Stanley. This session is discussed in Dick Hill's "Sylvester Ahola, The 
Gloucester Gabriel." The banjoist was my wife's grandfather, Lou 
Calabrese. The short-lived group's name was "Hooley Ahola's Vikings', 
and comprised Al Philburn, Ernie Warren, Phil Wall, Thurlow Darrow, 
Johnny Morris, Lou and Hoolie. It was an unauthorized Specht side job 
(he was usually tolerant of them, though he was a stickler for 
contracted performances). The singer was foisted upon the group when 
they came to record on December 17, 1926 at the New York studios.
I am not going to leave this up. Still can be heard in
