[78-L] Corwin-On A Note of Triumph was Non-Transcription OTR on 78 (was Decca Specialty Series (DAU-x))

[David Lennick]

As I recall, the Mark 56 was the original May 8 broadcast (which I swear to you 
my mother heard, in the hospital, 8 days after having whelped me). The Columbia 
was definitely from the live repeat done 5 days later. (No I didn't get a 
brother on that rerun.)

Garabedian's brother was selling off the stock years ago..had full page ads in 
Goldmine or the other magazine.
