> I tried looking on the web site of Bowling Green State University
library - http://maurice.bgsu.edu/search/ - but I'm not sure how to access a
label name.  You might try emailing the archivist, Bill Schurk.  The music
library there has a rather large collection of 78s, including many ethnic
discs.

> In my personal stock, I have several 78s on the Scandinavia label and one
on Cordion.  Both labels were issued by Scandinavian Music House in New York
in the mid-1940s.  I don't know if those would be of interest to you. If so,
you can contact me off list.
