[78-L] New Fienstein American Songbook series

[Michael Biel]

There is a new Michael Feinston American Songbook series on PBS.  I 
haven't seenthe early part of tonight's episode, but the last half 
features visits with High Hefner and Rich Conaty.  Rich Conaty  is 
especially interesting,most of us in the NYC area know him.  He does a 4 
hour radio prog on Sunday nights on WFUV The Big Broadcast.  They show a 
closet with piles of boxes Rich got from a record store --  each box 
seems to be copies of the same record.  They also show a 1929 uncoated 
aluminum of a 1929 Interwoven Pair Jones and Hare show which Rich played 
at Friends of Old Time Radio last fall.  Dish Network's National PBS on 
249 is airing it again at 2 AM and 5 PM.
