Hello,
I am the Great Niece of Howard Hafford. Do you know how I could get a hold of some recordings?
Best Michelle Lenza
Hi, Michelle. Thanks for your note. I’m afraid I have but the one recording by your great uncle. He is credited on Supertone 9461-B (1929) “I’m In Seventh Heaven” accompanied by the Miami Ramblers. Also Brunswick 226 “Come To Me” with the All Star Entertainers 18 Feb 1928. He’s credited on both sides of Champion 16087 “In Memory Of You” and “Don’t Tell Her What’s Happened To Me.” A google search of “vintage record auctions” will yield a number of sites such as Nauck’s Vintage Records. And of course, there’s always eBay. It will take considerable time and effort to track down any of your great uncle’s records, but I wish you the best of luck. If I come across any, I will certainly let you know. Best wishes.
