Bill:

I should have known that you'd be the one to come through for me.

I remember awhile back you setting me straight as to Louis Prima's
recording of "A Sunday Kind of Love"

I don't know what year Lil Hardin wrote "Bad Boy" (her name is on the
Jivebombers label) but I seem to recall that was not the original title,
which had somewhat of a racial connotation.

Someone had told me that Velma Middleton (Mrs. Ming in the 30s Flash
Gordon movies; a little serial humor there) had also been a Mrs. Satchmo
but this later proved to be erroneous.

I have a live recording on Decca of her and Louis doing "That's My
Desire" that'll knock your socks off.  Will be implementing it in a
future "Callaghan's Corner" that will consist entirely of entertainers 
"caught in the act".

Mucho gracias (hey, I'm in Houston)
Senor Harry

Music you grew up listening to
Or when we're done, you'll wish you grew up listening to
Listen to "Callaghan's Corner" on okom.com
