Eberwhite Social Notes


Lola the dog is the houseguest of Elsie the dog
while Lola’s family is visiting the South,
accompanying Elsie on daily tours of the
neighborhood and quarrelling noisily in the
backyard. Treats have been plentiful and gnawed
chunks of rawhide freely shared and exchanged
add to their enjoyment.

Johannes Brahms, Albumblatt .
Craig Sheppard, piano.

Here again culled from the contributions of VDiscDaddy on Youtube is Dizzy's "Grand Central Getaway", performed by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra on V-Disc 391 from 1945.
