Decca master DLA 1722-A, rec. Los Angeles, 15 March 1939.

Raymond Johnson, Del Porter, Marshall Smith, Dwight Snyder (vocal and ocarina) with Bing Crosby and John Scott Trotters Frying Pan Five.

One of the group's later recordings. Because of the war the group disbanded in 1941, and Porter turned to other things, being the founder and part-time leader of a group of musical mischief makers that later turned into Spike Jones and His City Slickers.

The Foursome reunited after the war, also performing as The Sweet Potato Tooters and The Stargazers.

Glad you like it. As for reference, with some labels we are fortunate and details are still in the company files (I've been doing some discographical work for the last 15 years). For some of the bigger companies, there are excellent discographies on the market (many of them by Mainspring Press - look up their homepage if you don't know them - very interesting online stuff also). The net can be a good source, but be sure to re-check everything.

You have some great recordings and very rare ones too. May I ask what reference tool you use to get information on the groups?
