[78-L] Well that's interesting....

[David Lennick]

I just had an eBay listing removed for copyright violation! It was an aircheck 
of a 1948 Dave Garroway show with The Ravens..it was also an original 
transcription disc, not presented as anything else. Wonder whose toes were 
stepped on? Wonder why "unauthorized" is spelled in European style with an "s"?
