Hi All,

Maybe our "Man In Nashville", Lee Hazen, knows the anser, then again, maybe 
others on this well versed list do too! I should distinguish that Chet 
Atkins did have an album titled "Our Man In Nashville", my reference was not 
about his album.

The Anita Kerr Singers? The Anita Kerr Quartet? Different groups with Anita 
Kerr heading them up or the same group by another name?

The 1963 recording by Al Hirt "Honey In The Horn" done at the famous RCA 
Studio B There is a bass singer singing with the Anita Kerr group, normally 
there is not. One of the two guys, drops down and sings a bass baritone, but 
in no way is singing a true bass.

It is this change to a 'true' quartet style that is responsible for the 
group's name change?

So I ask you, is this the same group with the same name with a substitution 
of the baritone for a bass? Or?
