[78-L] Speaking of Rapee

[DanKj]

 Appropo of nothing but the name:  I met a musical person in NYC, who shall remain nameless. Attending dinner at his place 
with a mutual friend, and glancing at his shelves, I read off a couple of names: Erno Rapee & Willard Robison. "Oh", said I, 
being the blabbermouth that I can be, "I thought some of your music sounded famliar."  If looks could kill!... I was not 
invited back, needless to say.
