[78-L] Archie Bleyer query

[Taylor Bowie]

The two sides make for a fascinating contrast of Robertson's singing 
styles...Shadows on the Swanee is a straight vocal and is really 
fine...great phrasing,  one of his best.  Lazy Bones is Robertson using his 
"Rastus" voice,  which I can't stand,  even in small quantities.

"Well,  look-ie heah!"

Bryan Wright is working hard on the next Aaronson CD,  for which I 
contributed transfers of my nice clean Vocalions (I sent him transfers of 
all the Columbias as well just in case).

What a fine band...I love the Aaronson stuff from the 20s,   but the 30s 
sides are really more interesting with some great jazz solos...the Vocalions 
have superb piano work by Horace Diaz,  who I think also wrote some of the 
arrangements.
