[78-L] Benny's birthday

[simmonssomer]

Wellllll..... 24 hours per day for more than 25 consecutive days on radio 
station WKCR-FM- (Columbia University) with nothing but Goodman's entire 
discography played  in correct date sequence and emceed by famous 78 
collector and expert Professor Phil Schaap ain't exactly nuthin'. It's also 
streaming.
Quite a tribute and a bonanza for Goodman collectors all over the world..
