[Dixielandjazz] Gene Autry (NPR segment) + publishing

[alevy at alevy.com]

Gene insisted on publishing many of the songs
that he used on the radio, recording and in the
movies. He also invested heavily by buying
radio stations and early tv outlets.
He purchased all his films from Republic. The
movie moguls were afraid of tv. Gene kept his
songs alive by running the movies on his own tv station(s).
Cheers,
