[78-L] Albert Arkus (piano) - ???

[Jack Raymond]

I don't actually own the program, which I saw years ago at the NY Public 
Library at Lincoln Center.  Notes I made at the time mention the Al 
Arkus credit.

The Al Arkus who was with WNYU in 1944 was too young to have been the Al 
Arkus who was in CABARET TAC -- see his obituary here --

But there was another Al Arkus in New  York who was in his mid-twenties 
when CABARET TAC played --

Perhaps he was the one.
