[Dixielandjazz] Re: Jim Hawthorne

[Don Ingle]

Fr. Bill:
Back home, are you? Did you leave any single malt left in Britain?
Ask Bob Romans if he recalls Pete Smyth (sic) who did a show on local Denver
station set in a fictional (for the show) mining town of Tin Cup, CO (that
actully did exist as a ghost town).It was sort of a less hetic Hawthorne
styled show with fictional sidekicks, e tc. but a good selection of music,
including some big band swing, small combo jazz and lots of comedy records
mixed with the obligatory Top Ten.
