...chatted awhile, and said that his latest song is called "What Will I Do in the Morning." Fats calls it his "nine-dollar" song because he spent that much for the "Scheherazade" album by Rimsky-Korsakoff, from which he has borrowed the theme. He likes college audiences and says that playing for them is "mah greatest thrill...
...trying Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. Concessionnaires sold to the 60,000 daily sightseers 10? replicas of the kidnap ladder, reporters adjourned to Nellie's Tap Room, after filing a million words daily, to sing a parody of the German Schnitzel-bank song about the ransom note and the baby's sleeping garment, and Edward J.

...Fascist troops in Granada last year. His best poem, written in 1935, was the Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejias (a bull-fighter).
