[Dixielandjazz] Johnny Catron and His Orchestra

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Jerry,

There is an organization in los Angeles called SPRDVAC, (Society for the 
Preservation  of Radio, Variety, Comedy and Drama), or something very close 
to that.

This non-profit organization tries to preserve radio and TV shows.  They 
have collected many transcriptions that were made for the Armed Forces Radio 
during WWII.  These shows were done live but recorded for AFR.  Without 
these transcriptions, all of those great shows would have been lost.

They let members rent the shows for very little, not wanting to make money 
from the shows.

Anyway, rather then trash a radio show, why don't you send it to them?

If you wish, I can get an address for you or maybe you can find them on the 
internet.

Let me know.

I just hate to see something such as that be lost forever.

--Bob Ringwald


Since your tape is a radio broadcast,
