I am compiling an annotated discography of Sam Donahue and would like to acquire any James broadcasts during the period that SD was on the James band.  SD replaced Claude Lakey in the James band in mid-June 1940 for three months, maybe longer.  The recent Hep CD "Harry James featuring Dick Haymes" verifies this as SD solos on excerpts included from July, August, and September 1940 broadcasts from the New York World's Fair.  Vido Musso also solos on these excerpts so it is clear that both were on the band during this period.
