[78-L] Hollywood Bowl recordings

[David Lennick]

I know this is a stupid question, but WHY did Victor record Mac in the Bowl 
when the city was lousy with sound stages and ballrooms? A symphony orchestra, 
that made sense..and now I suppose you'll tell me that those Goossens HBSO 
recordings were actually made in a studio.

(In the 40s, Victor did some great recordings over at Republic Studios. 
Soundstage #9, I think.)
