Additional Description

General

Note from Grundy Archive volunteer Harold Mitchener: "These are 45 and 33 1/3 RPM records and sheet music. They were composed by a former Bristolian, evidently. Erica Newman appeared in a Shirley Temple movie. 11-28-97."

Additional note from donor, Betty Rodgers, dated December 5, 1995: "Kathy-- Per our recent phone conversation, here are the records & music of Erica Newman, a former Bristolian. I don't know whatever happened to her. I remember that she was an actress in one of the Shirley Temple movies. If these things would be of no value to your collection, just get rid of them. Thanks. Betty Rodgers."
