   Just as a footnote to this, Bob Neighbor's copy of your album with Molly 
went down  in a horrendous flood that Bob's house underwent.  Neighbor is a 
fine trumpet player who moved from Frisco to the Chicago area.  A few years 
back his house in Aurora, Il underwent a terrible deluge in the middle of the 
night.  Bob lost everything that was in his basement office and that included 
a large number of Jazz LPs.  He also lost all of his computer stuff and one 
day he received a special delivery of a brand new computer.  A bunch of old 
friends in the Bay area had gotten together, chipped in and bought him a new 
computer to replace the one lost in the flood.

Yes, it was a hell of an album with Skeets Herfurt (of Jimmy Dorsey fame) on 
reeds.&nbsp; Both Skeets &amp; Jim Maihack wrote the arrangements.&nbsp; Al 
Smith (of High Sierra JB) on tpt &amp; Maihack on tbn.&nbsp; George Rock (Of Spike 
Jones fame) wrote the liner notes.&nbsp; Dr. Ed Lawless took the pix &amp; Dottie

of tunes from it on the site? 
 
Three years ago a used copy sold for $102 on EBay.&nbsp; a year &amp; 1/2 ago, an 
autographed copy, by Molly when she was 6, sold for $250.&nbsp; I only have a 
couple copies left.
