[78-L] AUTUMN LEAVES

[Cary Ginell]

I do happen to have Williams' Kapp recording of "Autumn Leaves" on 78 (Kapp K-116). Also, appropriately, a 45 of his recording of "Junk," which, sadly, describes the musical quality of most of his stuff. When I was in the inflight audio industry, his records were "gold" for our "boarding music" channel, along with James Last, the 101 Strings, and Mantovani.
