[78-L] Doodles Weaver

[David Lennick]

Doodles did April Showers on a Spike Jones show in late 1947. I had a soft cut 
of this when I was a kid and wore it out..finally got a transfer of the 
complete show after years of searching. I have Presidential Handicap and 
remember finding it not particularly funny..it needed Spike.

And speaking of Spike, I found a neat picture sleeve yesterday, but no record 
(I may have the record somewhere)..Captain Of The Space Ship. RCA Victor Y 472.
