Sometime in 1944 or 1945, the Roberts Brothers recorded the immortal “Minneapolis Ain’t Talkin’ to St. Paul.”  Well, maybe not immortal, but kind of fun.  The song, recorded on Bel-Tone Records (not to be confused with Beltone Records), was made into a brilliant video by our friend Neal Bond – click for some fun!  The short-lived Bel-Tone Records was based in Hollywood and the Miller Brothers don’t Google, so it’s pretty certain that this wasn’t a local production.  The Miller Brothers, by the way, were:

• Marty Roberts, Guitar
• Danny Roberts, Bass
• Virgil Bingham, Piano
