Thread Name: Found Musical Treasures - 78s of old cowboy songs
Subject: RE: Found Musical Treasures
I'm intrigued by the one called O'HOLLIGAN'S BALL. I'd bet that's a misspelling for O'HOOLIGAN'S BALL, which was recorded by Frank Crumit in 1928. Either way, I haven't heard it, and it sounds like it would be a good addition to our collection Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees. So I'm interested.

This web page says the flip side of Crumit's O'HOOLIGAN'S BALL was DOLAN'S POKER PARTY, which I see is also in your list and probably also fits the genre.

Hey, I'll bet there's enough info on the Internet to compile a complete description of those records, even if you don't have the labels.
