I sent a couple of additional sides by Venuti on the Crystalette label to
David. Eddie South and his Alabamans were recording about 1927 - he plays
violin also - I really like his band. I have also an Edison by Jack Stillman
that features a violin solo - sounds like Joe Venuti - and anyone confirm
this? - I can post the sound if you like - Mickey
