Frau "sarah", Do you feel cheated that you couldn't be the first female bride of your furher?
The following is about your heroes UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

hey, "sarah," instead of spending the precious moments of your life firing off ugly racist pot-shots on bulletin boards (or just trolling, whatever), maybe if you actually got off your butt and did something worthwhile, "Lenny" would do a show about you. I won't hold my breath.
Was it Stanley Turentine who the guest was named after? (Or Stanley Gayetzy? LOL.)
Another show from Lenny about his favorite people!
A very interesting story. I was introduced when that great CD "Manhattan Research, Inc" came out a decade ago.
So, what was the fate of that room-sized Synthesizer?
Has Mr. Warnow ever heard the early 30s record of "Christman Night in Harlem" sung by Jack Teagarden and Johnny Mercer composed by his father with words by Mitchel Parrish? On the other hand, wasn't Raymond Scott the one who insisted on breaking the color line with CBS orchestras?
