Dear Steve,
William Savory?
Not Bill Savory?
The technical genius who was responsible for Columbia's remastering of the secret acetates commissioned by Albert Marx of the famous 1938 Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert.
Yep.
I never forget a face.

What a pity that Mr Rohter overlooked that important fact in his article.
We certainly breathlessly await the release of the 'Best of the Savory Collection' on CD.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
