In the absence of any other information one way or another (and the real expert, Lionel Pairpoint, seems to be silent on the point), for the present I am listing these as the performances which appear on the record. Valuable as the series is, the identity of tracks listed on the Spokane sleeves is frequently innacurate. I do not have a copy of this particular broadcast.
