I've  just finished listening to the 23 tracks on Matty matlock'd  "Paducah
Patrol" again.;



Phil, I recall making a trip with Bob Crosby a little less than 20  years ago 
on the east coast where he and I drove together for about 2  hours. I had 
just made a cassette of the LP in question here, and played it not  once, but 
again on the way home. Mr. Crosby had never heard it before, and he  had a ball 
guessing who the various soloists were. You're spot on. It was a  great 
recording and I'd like to get my hands on it for another listen.
    Our new Bob Cat CD was released today, and I've  included a few tunes for 
which I borrowed heavily from Matty Matlock's original  ideas. You should 
also know that Bill Allred plays Matty's arrangements (with  faithful 
recreations) with his Classic Jazz Band.
