MISC NOTES: Norm Bobrow believed that this record was the very first jazz recording produced in Seattle. That seems correct. But when the Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist, Emmett Watson, wrote about it in 1979 he got things mixed up a bit. It was not the "first...commercial recording" cut here -- that was Vic Meyer's "Shake It..." 78 disc from 1923. Also, it remains unknown whether Frank Sugia contributed to this recording.
