[78-L] question about inventorying a collection, part 2

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Made in December 1921, "Aloha Oe" was covered by virtually everyone from 
Alma Gluck to... well, everyone. It is the most recorded of the  true 
Hawaiian songs. Irene Williams was a US pop artist of her day. The flip 
is "La Golondrina" and many Hawaiian steel guitarists covered it. There 
was lots of crosstalk between cultures!
