[78-L] Hum and Strum

[Kristjan Saag]

The duo recorded a few 78's for the Copley label, but also 45's. And the 
label (dedicated to Irish music) came along in the late 40's, according 
to this:

However: it may be that Copley reissued earlier recordings with the duo 
- the label was a continuation of a family business, which had been 
issuing Irish music for some time, using other label names.
