[78-L] Penny Wise and her Wise Guys?

[Taylor Bowie]

Well...if anybody cares...I found out that "Penny Wise" is actually 
songwriter Doris Fisher and her own little group.   Doris wrote some great 
tunes,  often with Allan Roberts,  and I'm really pleased I scored this 
record of hers.

Taylor

P.S.  It was Ruth Wallis who clued me in on this.
