[78-L] Alec Wilder Riverside

[David Lennick]

The Vox set was the one reissued by Mercury with the same cover, but without 
bothering to identify the performers. Didn't I hear that Frank Sinatra 
underwrote the reissue?

I'm going to have to find that Mundell Lowe album, if only to hear "Pop, What's 
a Passacaglia?".
