[78-L] Our Passing Parade

[David Lennick]

Interesting to hear Givens' name in this context. His collection went to a 
college which subsequently sold it to The Bop Shop which subsequently sold the 
remainder to me.

He did a Casa Loma show and told of his association with Gray at WBZ in Boston just before moving to Rochester.  Glen gave him a copy of that record and Bill enjoyed passing on Glen's story about it.  I thought it was a great record and would love to hear it again.
