It sure put a keebosh in Lou Breese's infant recording career using a 
Busse derived lineup. He was pretty active right up to February of 1942 
with Decca, a few Muzaks in June, then suddenly nada. The ban explains 
his dropout. His next try was early 50's with one session with Pearl 
Eddy, then a series of juke fillers on Bally.
