>I'm pleased to say that besides the occasional accompaniment of other stars
(Boswell Sisters, eg), the only Berigan disc I have is a mint condition 12"
RCA Victor 78 of nothing other than "I Can't Get Started" and "Prisoner's
Serenade" [actually 'Song'].<

Dear Mike,
Did you mean to imply that you do not care for Bunny Berigan?
Surely not!
You wold be missing a lot of great small group jazz (I recall that you have
the Mound City Blue Blowers stuff) and some fine big band Swing music.
I have nearly all of the issued LP/CD recordings featuring him.
Which indicates what I think of his playing.
There is a lot more unreissued material, as will be revealed when the late
Bozy White's long-awaited book is published.
Kind regards,
Bill.
