[78-L] Soupy Sales: One of jazz's best friends is gone

[David Lennick]

Whaddaya mean in the next decade or so? I'm already aware of two substantial 
collections of 78s whose owners have "gone to pursue other endeavours", as they 
phrase it when someone is given fifteen minutes to clear his desk before 
Security is called. One collection is in Buffalo and is available to anyone 
interested in big band 78s. The other one..no idea what's happening to it yet.
