Seek "Singin' The Blues" Played by Gershwin
By Randolph Herr

Does anybody out there have an original or a recut roll of Gershwin
playing "Singin' The Blues"?  He recorded it for the Aeolian Company
under their Mel-O-Dee sub-brand in 1920 or so.

It's really important to me as I need it for a video I am making about
Aeolian Hall in New York, which was never really destroyed, and still
exists in a sense.
