A while back I mentioned the recording of What's new by one
of the Stan kenton bands on a cd called "Contemporary Concepts."

Rather than buying it, thought it should be a library acquisition.

So they bought it and while I was down there I noticed an LP
albun-sized booklet on the Russo Holman charts which foes with
a 4 cd set. I picked up the book just to read.

And I was prompted to write and thank Bob Parlocha for playing
it in the first place on his syndicated show. In the mail
I said how certain things stick in my head and which the
Kenton Sound reminded me of. One such tune was by Sonny Burke
for an old tv show called "Hennesy." Bob wrote back and
said that his wife was buying him tv show soundtracks. He daid
"Hennesy" was at the top of his list of unfound favorites.

Like minds think alike I guess but it sure was surprising
that in all the world there are 2 people that think about this
stuff.
