Description
Rare one in E-
Plays loud and clear
Regarding Miller, Rouse Bros:
The Lonesome Singer is Lanier Stewart according to Tony Russell
Both are Bob Miller tunes.
I believe this singer is accompanied by the Rouse Brothers, or at least Erwin on fiddle, just my gut reaction to hearing the fiddle. It struck me enough to make me look and sure enough, according to Russell the Rouse Brothers recorded in the same day in the same studio June 14 1939. Further, the Rouse Brothers also sang Bob Miller tunes. Seems like Miller may have brought them up to record his tunes together. No proof, but sure sounds like it to my ears! If you're wondering, the singer is a legit country sounding guy, not a balladeer squeezed into a country session/catalogue, as happened sometimes.
Tough one with nice Mandolin

GRADING
I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:
- N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
- N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
- V+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced
- V. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages.Music remains loud in most passages.Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
- G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
- F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P. Unplayable
