[simmonssomer]

She made a pair of sides for Keynote(632) in April of 1946. Acc'd, among 
others, by Peanuts Hucko (who took Willie Schwartz's place as lead clarinet 
in the Glenn Miller Air Force Bands ) and  by Trigger Alpert.Glenn's bassist 
for many years. A good number of  others in London in the 50's with Humphry 
Lyttleton on the Lyragon and Parlophone labels. There were some calypsos 
after that but I don't remember the details on those.
