Hello all

The recent discussion of the Eddie Cantor recording of "Cheer Up, Smile,
Nertz!" was coincidental with my getting a copy of the Belle Baker song
"Cheer up (good times are comin')"

Recorded c. June 1930 for Brunswick, the piece is noted in Brian Rust's 
"Jazz records". The band accompanying Belle Baker is HOT, with some 
stand-out trumpet work.

Rust gives the personnel as including ?Mike Mosiello, t; ?Charlie 
Butterfield, tb; and Andy Sannella, reeds.

Does anyone know where this partial personnel comes from? No support for 
it can be found in Ross Laird's Brunswick discography.

All the best,
Anton
