The Oct. 28 date has 5 Whiteman musicians plus Hoagy-p, Andy Secrest-c and Buzz Wernert-g. Secrest was then with The Royal Peacocks out of Indianapolis. With Hoagy, they would record as Goldkette's band in Dec. '27.
How did Hoagy commandeer 5 of Whiteman's boys to make a recording at Richmond? Well...Whiteman was in Indy, doing a run at the Indiana Theater. Hoagy, who had been hanging around the band helping Bill Challis arrange "Washboard Blues," offered the guys a record date. Either it was an off day or Pops himself gave the okay.
