[78-L] Ben Bernie 1930 -32

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks for the additional info,  Al.  I had no idea that McGarity was ever 
with Bernie.

I would still sure like to know the ID of the trumpets on those 1930 sides I 
mentioned the other day...just totally outstanding players,  both the lead 
and the solo guy.

Taylor
