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

[Tyrone Settlemier]

OK, on top of my list (tonight) is a cylinder, hope that is ok...
 
1.  Rain in the Face by Collins and Harlan.  Albany Indestructible 701.  I like a lot of C&H, but this is probably the most mean-spirited recording I've ever heard.

2.  Anything by Ken Griffin.
 
3.  The Hartz-Mountain parakeet training record
 
4.  San Antonio Rose by Lawrence Piano Roll Cook.  Piano is fine.  Sax is lethal.
 
5.  Laugh, Clown, Laugh by the Harmonians.

Never hear again? Much harder.

1) Near You - Francis Craig
2) A Tisket A Tasket - anyone
3) O Sole Mio - Enrico Caruso
4) Captain Of The Spaceship - Spike Jones
5) On The Good Ship Lollypop - Shirley Temple

Mind you, I have reasons for all of these;
I'm not just picking them out of the air.
