...following Wednesday from New York. But what I am trying to say is, of course he got odd jobs like in spring of the year, he would get what he could do here in Springfield cleaning wallpaper, washing down kitchens and porches. Whenever he could obtain work of that sort no matter how badly he needed clothes he would first always subscribe to two or three years of TIME Magazine. And he kept every copy since 1931.

A swing musician would have an awfully hard time justifying the sort of thing he plays and at the same time muttering dire things about the last moving shaggers. They have just reviewer prefers to do his track work outdoors, but that is pure laziness, son, pure laziness. I have but one criticism of the dancing "bugs" whom I have seen: they...
