Dear Don,
Other than that Milwaukee [1926] Lee Countryman is/was a pianist and
recorded with Ted Vesely and Smokey Stover (which one?) and worked with Ray
Linn, Matty Matlock and Ben Pollack, I know nothing about him and have never
heard him play, to my knowledge.
I'll certainly be embarrassed if he is on one of those CDs of 'live' stuff
you've sent me.
Back to you.
I had forgotten that Herman Chittison was in the weekly CBS radio
detective series "Casey - crime photographer". For 7 years too.
Something else we didn't heard down-under.
He was only 56 when he died of lung cancer, which makes us wrinklies very
thankful for what we have.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
