95 views101 ,only number in that series I've ever seen...
Practice Record was apparently sold at a dance studio or mail order.It has matrix numbers L-194-6 for the A side and L-195-3 for the B side. Aside from being Grafton masters...L-93 lies between L-90 (Bessie Mae Smith , PM 12922 from May 1930) and L-96 ( The Hokum Boys, PM 12935 from June 1930)
The Dance record matrices ( L-194/L-195) are between L-190 by Robert Peeples on PM 13033 and L-207 by Wesley Long on PM 12932.. issued in June 1930..
The significance of all this is the variety of custom recordings made which used matrices in the L series ,but were NOT blues items, thereby filling gaps in the overall release listing...should anyone be working on that.. To the best of my knowlege these two items have not been brought to anyone's attention before now..

Blue Jay Singers in Sheboygan, WI in 195338 viewsA note from Alex:
Here's an article from the Sheboygan Press from 1953 mentioning a performance of the Blue Jay Singers. This is the male quartet that recorded in November 1931 in Grafton, during the same session with King Solomon Hill, Ben Curry and Marshall Owens. Originally from the Birmingham, Alabama area the Blue Jays moved to Chicago and broadcast over the radio and toured the midwestern states in the 1940s and 1950s, esp. univeristy/college circuit. Of the men mentioned being part of the group, only Charles Beal was an original member who recorded in Grafton. One wonders if he was aware that he was at close range of the location where he recorded 22 years before.
