[78-L] A-440 label & "Larry Wagner Orchestra"

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks,  Roger...that's quite a line up and I see why the trombone section 
sounds so good...Rauch has such a clean sound that I'll bet it is he playing 
lead.

Does the name "Kahn Keene" sound like a pseudonym for somebody?  It's odd, 
whatever the case.

Thomas Stern asked if I have any info on the label and I don't...wonder what 
else they recorded and issued?

Julian,  is your LP on the A-440 label or is it some other and/or later 
issue?
