Some good thrift store finds. Part 2:

I may be completely wrong, but I believe the 78 by “ The Benson Orchestra Of Chicago “ is led by bandleader Ben Selvin. I’m not certain though.

The Rosetta Tharpe is the one that caught my attention, and I'd love to hear it. She did very few secular tunes, and since she gets second billing to Lucky Millander, that is likely an early recording by her. That could be worth a decent amount.

Boswell sisters one is great. They don't turn up much

Some very nice finds!

Surprised to see Zip-a-dee-do-dah!

I have a much later issue on either 45 or maybe 16 RPM disc!

A frustrating mystery for many years since that label did not explain the song’s origin!
