[78-L] Teddy Peterson Orch on Polyphon [FWD]

[Mike Harkin]

That's more or less what I finally figured out:  think of an artist who recorded WITH whoever you want to look up, us their name for search, then
click on the name you really want from that hit.  The problem HERE is that it usually requires that you already know the information you're trying to look up.

How do you say Catch-22 in Danish????
