There is a LOT of interesting stuff there, including inside info  and 
names I've never heard before.   But there is a scary element of  this.  
Look down at Steve Lasker's acknowledgments at the end of this.  Read 
this: " I was able to examine the various legal contracts that relate to 
Brunswick, Vocalion and Melotone, also the surviving recording ledgers 
from 1923-31, thanks to Andy McKaie of the Universal Music Group."  
Where were those documents?  Where are they now?  Do they still exist?  
Someone had mentioned Steve Lasker as a source of info when the 
Universal vault fire happened.  What about this Andy McKaie?
