Presented here without much validation is a possible template/pilot episode: this is the Bob Bain quartet (with Roy Harte on the drums, Jud De Naut playing bass and Ray Sherman on piano) with our song star Margo Powers. But, there's no date on the label and though the format is familiar, the sponsorship makes this unusual to be sure. Kaiser-Frazer was a post WWII auto manufacturing venture which was announced in 1945 and went into production sometime in 1946. Our announcer (Tom Murray) gives us a clue when he says that "a few months back, 26 to be exact, Kaiser-Frazer wasn't even in production". Math tells us that would make the air date somewhere in 1948, which is when our regular transcriptions started their run. So, easy does it-this could be the start of something big!
