Because of the musician's union strike on recodings, Red could  not play 
on the Serutan Yob side and they had to use non-listed instruments  
accompaning Jim Hawthorne, ukeleles for instance, so to distinguise this 
they used Un-natural  7 instead of the usual Natural 7.
Jo Stafford only made the Tim-Tay-Shun side as a lark and was not on the 
regular band's future recordings with one later exception, so a young 
lady named Karen Tedder was hired to be the regular vocalist on the road 
band and subsequent recodings. Incidentley, they used different 
outlandish names on various sides for the vocalists, even when they were 
the same as on previous sides.Also, on "Them Darn Fool Things" they used 
June Foray as the Margery Main type female vocalist. She was of course a 
top voice artist over for the Bullwinkle TV cartoons and many Warner 
Brothers cartoons.  Later in the recordings made by Red Ingle, Jo 
Stafford did come back and do a couple sides. 28 of Red's Capitol sides 
are on a a CD put out by
Bear Family Records - Amazon carries it as do most larger on-line music 
sales companies.  Just type in Red Ingle: Tim-Tay-Shun and you'll find it.
Hope that clears up some of the name mystery.
