[78-L] Ray Kinney test pressing

[Dan Van Landingham]

Thanks for the information.There were quite a number of those labels down in 
L.A. I've come across.Pan
American was one of them:the trumpeter Rafael Mendez recorded "Kitten on the 
Keys" with a studio 

group and I have that one.Al Hendrickson once told me he did a few for 
Mendez.George Wendt,who h-
ad worked for Artie Shaw in 1940 and '41-he was a trumpeter-was on that "Kitten 
on the Keys" date.
I don't know just when the recording was made.What I have of Mendez is on Decca.

of his records some
of which was by an organist like Gaylord Carter.When I first met the late
guitarist Al Hendrickson back
in 1980,he told me that when Capitol started out,they recorded at 
MacGregor's
studio.I had a two vol-
ume Hindsight set of Stan Kenton from 1941 and according to the liner 
notes,the
broadcast was record-
ed at the MacGregor studios.

C.P. MacGregor had at least two different partners (credited as "MacGregor
& whomever" on the labels"...the first was "Sollie" and IIRC another was
"Ingham"...?! He operated (and may have acquired?!) the "Allied" studio,
which had been Columbia's west coast operation before mid-1934...!
