It looks like the photo was taken in a radio station or a recording studio as there is a control room in back. I wonder what the event was that brought so many legends together in one spot? Sandy |

01 Mar 08 - 08:00 AM (#2276440) Subject: RE: Folklore: Woody & Wade From: GUEST,Hootenanny It was in fact taken in a radio station in New York I think. It was a programme made for the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)during WW2 and the programme is available on CD. Not within reach of my shelves at the monemt so can't give you the details immediately. Hoot PS the identification above has mixed Wade Mainer and Red Rector |
