Wanted: Any record by Ted Fio Rito

[Dave D]

I am in need of any record by Ted Fio Rito. Playing condition is not important.
Please let me know if you can help me out.
Thanks,

Russo- FioRito as well, or just Ted's band from the 30s?

[Dave D]

I think just Ted. His band played here in Port Huron for the world premier of Young Tom Edison in 1940. We are putting together a display here at the museum about the event and I thought it would be fun to have one of his records.

OK, got it. I know I have a few around but not sure just where, LOL. I have some Russo- FioRito sides in my main collection, though, so I thought I'd ask!

To be correct era for 1940 we need a recording on the blue Decca label (non "sunburst" later label) in the 2000 series. I don't have one but I can get one if nobody else comes up with something. How quickly do you need it?

[Dave D]

I need it rather quickly. We are showing the movie Young Tom Edison and I am putting together a display for the movie lobby. This will be on Feb 11, of course.

I will check Ebay for a Decca label record.
Thanks for tht tip.

I've dealt with him in the past and always had a positive experience.

Thanks for the tip. I emailed him.
