  • Notes

    Performers listings, aside from that for William Wheeler, were taken from a Victor ledger entry for another master of the same day. The performers for that selection were conveyed "per telephone from studios 2/4/54."

    Bolig states that Frederick Wheeler was listed by name but was not a regular performer on these recordings; and that William Wheeler was not listed by name but probably was the Wheeler listed in the logbook.
