DISCOGRAPHY
More help is needed as this section continues to grow. It is crucially important to inspect your Murray collections for matrix and take numbers (small numbers found in the runout area), missing composers (from sheet music), company catalogs (for release dates and missing issues), typos (on my part), and rare and obscure labels where Murray sings or participates without label credit, most notably "Tenor Solo," minstrel records, and comedy sketches. Not all recording dates are shown because some company files are no longer known to exist, but all contributions will be fully acknowledged and attributed as soon as possible. Please contact me if you can help.
