Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WNTP TEST UNDERWAY

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Allan,

I didn't hear WNTP but I also collect Spike Jones records/tapes etc.  I still have about half a dozen of his old 78 rpm vinyl recordings.  Full of scratches etc. but still playable in the most
part.  Altho it sounds like 'Beetlebaum' I believe it's listed as 'Feetlebaum' on the record or written material accompanying it.
