Mike Biel says: “I assume your path must have crossed Martin Williams 
once in a while.
Since you are still among the living, I also assume that Martin did not
ever catch wind of your disdain for Sarah Vaughn.”

I owe my thanks to buckler and sword and a head start. Last night while 
the 78-L exchange on Eckstine was in progress, I went to YouTube and 
played part of “Everything I have is Yours.”  I next hit the button on 
“Prisoner of Love.” I gagged at the sound and memory of both. The only 
thing I found interesting about the early ’50s Eckstine was his “Mr. B 
High-Roll Collar” shirt Symphony Sid used to advertise on his Boston 
radio show. Having never seen one, I tried to imagine what this 
improbable sounding shirt looked like.
