Good morning Charlie,
Not all the Mound City Blue Blowers recordings feature Red McKenzie or his comb & paper.
The 1935 "High Society/Muskrat" session being an example worth a listen.
And I and with you regardong the great TonySpargo/Sbarbaro.

Wrong lead, wrong answer. But I did try.

Cheers,
Bill.
