RCA Victor and Columbia finally capitulated on November 11 1944.

> Vagabonds on Bluebird as the dates indicate they were recorded during 
> the ban. I finally found a copy of Rosie The Riveter and I Had The 
> Craziest Dream on 30-0810, but a close listen reveals that it has some 
> kind of stringed instrument - I'm guessing a tiple. Years ago I read

> Actor's Guild to stop some singers, and IBEW to stop the recording
