[78-L] EFHJREM

[David Lennick]

A few years ago I picked up collections in Niagara-On-the-Lake Ontario, 
Rochester NY and one other location, within a short period of time, and I 
started pulling out all the Harry James red Columbias. There must have been 
well over two hundred. Not too many Brunswicks. Not too many Varsitys. An 
original issue of "All Or Nothing At All" (the one with Sinatra's name 
requiring a magnifying glass to read), but otherwise..MAN that guy sold a lot 
of records!
