Thanks so much for the background information about Abe. I even have a couple of sides on Zon-o-Phone by his father, but would never have made the connection!
Very excited to discover this. Abe Small was my grandfather. In addition to leading the Melody Boys, he played with Paul Whiteman’s band and also led the Fort Slocum Army Band during WW II.
ha! Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate them. I plan these out pretty far in advance so by the time I do have a minute to work them out they don't take as long.
