Mike, I am an avid collector of Bea Lillie and would be interested in
trading with you, or with anyone else on this list, several rare and widely
unavailable air checks I have of several of her on-air performances for
copies of the lacquers you mention.  Please contact me off list.

 

I crashed at his apartment one night about 8 or 9 years ago when I 

needed a place to stay in NYC before my daughter moved there.  Just a 

week ago I was being interviewed by a Seattle public radio broadcaster 

and I talked about two sets of records he sold me from the Bea Lillie 

collection he had gotten from her secretary.  There's a Nov 1934 

broadcast on lacquer coated aluminum and a Jan 1935 broadcast on 

uncoated aluminum.  The former are among the earliest lacquers in 

existence, and the latter show that the changeover was not total 

immediately.  And they are otherwise unknown broadcasts.
