[78-L] Tony Wons

[Taylor Bowie]

Mr. Mike,

There is a 6000-series  Brunswick record...I think it's Victor Young...of a 
tune called "Are You Listenin'" which was Wons's radio catch phrase.   As I 
recall,  there is a vocal by Smith Ballew but also some talking by Wons, 
who also received label credit.

Wons also had published a lot of little poetry anthology books in the 30s, 
each of which was issued in a very colorful deco-moderne style dust jacket. 
The dust jackets are better than most of the poetry.


Taylor
