[Dixielandjazz] Carnegie Hall Liner Notes

[Stan Brager]

Steve;

In light of what we now know, it sounds as though Kolodin's information came
from Benny who thought that there were only a single mike. That's the reason
it's important to quote sources for historical information for which this is
no direct personal knowledge.
