Anybody know anything about a male quartet called "Bel-Cantos" (no article 
preceding the name) who recorded two sides in Dallas on February 8, 1932, in 
between dozens of country and blues records made on the same field trip? Fred 
Shelton, T. K. Johnston, tenors; Marcel Jones, baritone; Martin Thomas, bass. 
George Perfect, piano (per Victor Master Book). The sides are "Rigoletto 
Quartette (Travesty)" (comp. M. T. Bohannon) and "Get Away Jordan". Victor 
22952. Doesn't sound like a black group.
