[78-L] Amalgamated Broadcasting System

[David Lennick]

So I no sooner get finished slamming this broadcast than I hear one helluva 
swinging orchestra along the lines of Fletcher Henderson..Rex Stewart and His 
Orchestra, from the Empire Hotel. And it's THE Rex Stewart! According to 
Kinkle, he did lead a band at the Empire. Aside from a ten minute chunk of Al 
Kavelin's sweet band, this is the only good thing to come out of this whole 
mishigoss.
