Re: [ARSCLIST] Duncan Sisters

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Entirely possible..they kept up their vaudeville act, did some soundies, did 
some 50s television appearances, recorded a couple of Christmas sides (not 
these) in 1947 per one source, and the name would have been too well known for 
anyone to use it as a pseudonym around 1950.

The person to ask is Peter Muldavin, the Kiddie Rekord King (and recent ARSC 
winner)..his VINTAGE CHILDREN'S RECORDS book lists the Star-Bright label but 
only up to R1020. Peter, over to you.
