Show 106, “Secrets of 78s,” plays 15 78RPM records found in the closet of Sam Waldron’s friend Bob. Performers include Bing Crosby, Johnny Mercer, Judy Garland, The Andrews Sisters, Carson Robison, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller. One of these recordings is virtually invisible on the internet, but an old-fashioned research technique finally revealed its story.
