If anyone is interested, there was a black vocal group of the 30's & 40's called THE CATS & A FIDDLE that did Mills Brothers-Ink Spots-type material and recorded quite a bit for the Bluebird label. Their instrumental line-up was string bass, guitar, & two tipples. Tiny Grimes played guitar in this band for a time. Last time I checked, their recordings were still available. Not exactly standard Mudcat fare (if anything about Mudcats can be considered standard), but interesting none-the-less.
