The author of this essay mentions that he owns a copy of the Hall Johnson Choir performing the St. James Infirmary Blues. It was a Google search for just this recording that led me to this site. As a boy in the 1950s, my father had a 78 recording of this, with Water Boy on the other side of it. I sang them both over and over (and over), especially the St. James Infirmary Blues. Could anyone tell me how I could get this, or these recordings? My email address is billmat@mac.com.
Many Thanks
Great essay, by the way. Thanks for all the research!
