Indeed, it interesting to read this. Of course I knew about the date 
since the Red Ingle mentioned was my dad. A pisture, taken by my mother 
of Bix and Red in front of the bandstand where they had been playing 
catch baseball in the afternoon has made the rounds from our copy used 
by Phil Evens in his book - and "stolen" by everyoneelse since.
Bill Rank rode down from Detroit in dad's car - there's a story there, 
too for another time. I talked with Bill at a later time in the 70's and 
he said that the site of Caste Farms was now an apartment complex and 
that he managed it at the time we talked.
I am a lucky fellowas I got to meet, in my time, Morehouse, Rank, Itsy 
Riskin, Speigle Willcox, Doc Riker, "Fuzzy" Farrar, and a few others of 
the Goldkette band and of his other groups.
Nice to have that clip, Hal. Thanks for posting it.
