[78-L] Hollywood Bowl recordings

[Cary Ginell]

Let me see if I can find my paper from 2003 and I'll report back to you. I do know that McClintock was hosting a radio program in San Francisco when those sides were made and that he was flown down to Los Angeles specifically to make those recordings. Stay tuned. I know it's around here somewhere...
 
Cary Ginell, whose records are well-organized, but not his files.
