Here's what I have from The Meadowbrook on Sept. 7, 1946 for Elliot 
Lawrence.
(I cannot find Sally Stewart anywhere else with this band and Roz was there 
for another 6 years so it might have been a one night stand for Stewart.)


1.  "What Is This Thing Called Love"  Roz Patton
2. "To Each His Own" Jack Hunter
3. "Blue Skies' Sally Stuart
4. Tumbling Tumbleweeds
5. "Jack You're Dead" Clark Sisters
6. "Story Of Jazz Recitation"
7. "On The Sunny Side Of The Street"
8. "That's Why I Whistle So Well"  Roz Patton
9. "All The Things You Are"
