Dear Don,
Mary Lee (as you will know) also put down 8 titles on 26th and 30th of 
June 1942 backed by the Bob Crosby Bob Cats.
Yank Lawson, Floyd O'Brien, Matty Matlock, Eddie Miller, Jess Stacy, 
Nappy Lamare, Bob Haggart and Ray Bauduc.
It was the Bob Cats' last session for Decca before the musician's union 
record ban.
I have these (as you would expect) but have never heard the 1938-39 
sides Mary Lee did with Ted Weems.
Kind regards,
Bill
