[78-L] five least liked 78s (was - five favorites)

[David Lennick]

Definite seconding to Whitfield, Lynn, adding Anne Shelton. And nobody's 
mentioned Jan Peerce's Bluebird of Happiness, Freddy Martin's Birdshit on your 
Windowsill (actually Freddy Martin's entire output is pretty high on my list, 
along with that of all other hotel orchestras with those "silver saxes"), and 
any Stepon Grapejelly that intrudes for more than 8 bars. He became listenable 
in the 70s, and that's well after the gawdawful duets with Yehudi 
thenkyewveddymotch.
