Hey Norm.  I've been offline for sometime and am only 1,254,399 djml posts 
behind.  Tony Pastor Jr. has been a good friend for many many years.  I've 
acquired all of his dad's big band charts plus a 1919 Conn alto sax (his 
first horn), a 1931 Conn Tenor that he used with Artie as well as his own 
band and a Selmer clarinet that he purchased in the 1950s. My bride of 45 
years insists that our master bedroom closet should contan her shoes rather 
than a museum.  Do you know of anyone who would be interested in this stuff?

I can't get enough players together to play the charts and the arrangers are

all top notch including many by Billy May.

Sorry to impose on you but I recall our mutual friend Floyd Levin and really

wish he and Lucille were still with us.  If I could have convinced Floyd 
that Norskog had recorded Tony's 1919 clarinet in LA that year, he would 
have been of great help! :)  Any suggestions you might have re: the above 
would be greatly appreciated.

(I also have Charlie Barnett's studio Master recordings of his last 3 
Capitol Sessions cluttering up this closet space) ...and so much more.
