It's too bad Milt Gabler never did the autobiography everyone asked him 
to do, but all the ads are there, and Billy Crystal has his uncles's and 
his father's stuff.  His father managed the store when Milt went to 
Decca.  Again I mention the interesting DVD Billy did a few years ago 
about his Uncle Milt.
