Description
ARTIST: Baby Doo / Gene Gilmore
LABEL: Decca 7763
TITLES: The Death of Walter Barnes / The Natchez Fire
CONDITION: E
DESCRIPTION:
Vicksburg, Mississippi jazz band leader who recorded for Brunswick with his Royal Creolians in the late 1920s died tragically in April 1940 along with most of his bandmates when the Natchez Rhythm Club burned to the ground with the band and 200 patrons trapped inside. Baby Doo and Gene Gilmore recorded a pair of topical songs about the tragedy in June 1940. Baby Doo on piano and Robert (Nighthawk) Lee McCoy on harmonica. Jazz collectors might want to have this tribute 78 on the shelf next to his late 1920s Brunswicks as a coda to his story.

Over the past 15 years I have handled several top-notch pre-war collections, and I consistently get some of the highest prices for clean copies of these records. In the history of eBay since the very beginning, 5 of the 7 highest prices realized for a 78 were on my listings.
COLLECTIONS PURCHASED: I am always in the market for rare 78s from a few pieces to a complete collection if a sale is preferable to consignment. If you are thinking about selling now or in the future, or know of a collection that might be available, please get in touch.

ADD BOMBASTIUM TO YOUR SAVED EBAY SEARCHES. My curated weekly eBay listings always contain an interesting cross section for a wide variety of interests including on occasion paper ephemera, post-war 78s and LPs.I am listing a run of 10" jazz, blues and world music LPs that have been in storage for over 50 years. For the most part, they are close to new, possibly having being played a couple times, but all were well cared for until they were boxed up long ago. They will fit into one of the vinyl grades below, and none in lesser condition will be listed with the possible exception of a few rarities.
Vinyl Grading scale:
M- - Like new, as close to new without being still sealed. EX - Similar to M- with very minor handling signs, small superficial scuffs from sliding in and out of jacket. VG+ - Shiny with no groove wear, a few more signs of handling, light inaudible marks. VG - Shiny without the mirror like surface, light signs of groove play, spindle marks, light surface scratches or scuffs. Looking more like a lightly used but well taken care of record.
Covers will be described separately.
