[78-L] Transcription query

[David Lennick]

I'd be really interested in this, but it likely dates from the 50s. POSSIBLY 
the late 40s, and likely of CBC origin. Norm went on to be one of the pioneer 
television directors in Canada and the US. He's also a co-composer (with Don 
Harron) of the popular musical "Anne Of Green Gables". There aren't that many 
samples of his radio work, although the CBC archives have some programs.

Production titles :-  'Oh, please Louise' and ' Beneath the mistletoe '.   No dates of recording are shown - but they have a 1940's appearance.    The disc is not in good shape through poor storage.
