[78-L] Getting through?

[simmonssomer]

I have the first fifteen minutes of that program feauring that audio expert 
here somewhere.
I do not have the second half during which Welles makes his entrance.
I have Benay Venuta doing a number at the halfway point and that's it.
If I can find what I have I'll try to post it.
