In Dallas on Thursday I was looking through a bunch of 78s and found 50-60
78s autographed by Harry James, Woody Herman, Ted Weems, and Elmo Tanner
among others.
Many were inscribed to "Leon" and others were just autographed. A couple
were autographed on the label itself (the Modernaires for one) but almost
all were written on masking tape on the top third of the label so that all
that was obscured was the label brand.
I didn't buy any because by then I had found other 78s I wanted more. If
you are interested in contacting this person please contact me off line and
I'll pass on his name and phone number.
At least one was autographed by both Ted Weems and Elmo Turner. I held it
up to my ear but couldn't tell if Elmo was singing or just whistling.
