[78-L] Reuss was Etri was Christian

[Joe Scott]

There's a nice Harry James CD on Jasmine called Meadowbrook Memories, two '44 shows. Unfortunately the two low points of the CD are Reuss trying to play "Steel Guitar Rag," imo. By '44 the field was crowded with very good lead electric guitarists such as Chuck Wayne, T-Bone Walker, Les Paul, Oscar Moore, Barney Kessel, Al Casey, Jimmy Wyble, Remo Palmieri, Teddy Walters, and Tiny Grimes.

There is an aircheck of Reuss featured on electric on LOVE DEPARTMENT by the Harry James band in 1944 - normally on this arrangement, Reuss had a short solo and James played the rest of the solo spots. On this one show, James had broken his foot playing baseball and Tommy Dorsey led the band, so Reuss got the whole number to himself. It's a good one. There's also a Reuss feature on the James' V-Disc of STEEL GUITAR RAG.
