[78-L] Salvation and record plug

[Malcolm Rockwell]

And there's the lyric in the Memphis Jug Band's "Lindy Hop (Overseas 
Stomp)", which was recorded09/11/28 in NYC,  that says, "I asked for a 
bottle of Beerola, She said, 'Can I play the blues on your Victrola...' 
". Not a plug but Victrola gets a specific mention.
