Here's something you don't run across every day, a 2 record album set on the REX label from 1944 featuring Roger Kay's String Orchestra and Barney Bigard's clarinet.  This albumwas limited to 1000 copies, each signed (initialed) by Barney Bigard and numbered.  This album is number 0233.  Don't know how many of these 1000 were actually sold nor do I have any clue how many might still exist today.  The music is nothing to write home about, but the concept is pretty cool.  It was recorded July 27, 1944.  You can see the details of thisalbum online here:
