Table of ContentsREEL No. ET-26 NOTE: Track II of ET Reel No. 26, and ET Reel No. 27 et al that may follow, are reserved for Benny Goodman electrical transcriptions made available to me after I had begun chronological taping, and were received too late to include in that order.

18:42: Conclusion announcements
NOTE: Pianist Dick Katz, who claims to have substituted for Buddy Greco on the 1949 “March Of Dimes” ET session when Greco sang during the recording, has two acetate cuts of “I’ll See You In My Dreams.” The first cut is the same as that on the ET; the second is an alternate take, distinguishable by virtue of the different ts solo. The poor transfer next is the alternate, dubbed from Katz’s acetate and sent to me via cassette by Loren Shoenberg.
Benny Goodman And His Orchestra, 1949 March Of Dimes, December 1948, New York, Personnel as this ET; See REEL No. ET-22, alt take, ACETATE - 1949 March Of Dimes
19:57: I’ll See You In My Dreams - voc The Clarinaders
NOTE: The ET transferred next was sent to me by Henry Schmidt via cassette, who had copied it from a badly mutilated transcription. Schmidt said the ET had no visible matrix numbers or other identifying marks anywhere on its surfaces. The transfer here is both equalized and pitch-corrected. This ET does not appear in “BG - On The Record.” An attempt was made to incorporate it into the copy for the new BG book in late January 1984.
AFRS Downbeat No. 25, c. February/March 1943, Los Angeles

44:15: Why Don’t You Do Right? - voc Peggy Lee

47:09: Stealin’ Apples - to sign off
NOTE: “Air Mail Special'' is also on ET, AFRS Basic Music Library No. P-6 See REEL No. ET-3, this tape transfer series, for that cut.
Track II, continued. NOTE: The next transfer, a partial rendition (introduction) of “Stealin’ Apples,’ as arranged for Benny Goodman By Fletcher Henderson, is puzzling. It is from an AFRS ET, Bob Hope No. 14, And is the very last item on Part 2 of the ET. It appears to have been appended to an AFRS transcription of a commercial radio broadcast, “The Bob Hope Program,” which constitutes all of the ET except this final tune. Nothing else on this program –and thus, this ET – suggests the prior presence of Benny Goodman, In addition to Hope, the program’s cast includes Frances Langford, Jerry Colonna, Skinnay Ennis and his Orchestra, and guests David Butler (a Hollywood director) and Lenore Obere (sp?), a Viennese actress. There is no mention of Benny Goodman, not even at the beginning of “Stealin’ Apples”; the tune begins without any introduction of any kind. The Hope broadcast is announced as originating in Las Vegas. The ET’s matrix suggests a date of 2 February 1943, but this is uncertain. In the first half of February 1943, Goodman was in Chicago. His pianist for all of 1943 was Jess Stacy; I do not believe the pianist on this cut of “Stealin’ Apples” is Stacy. This a (with Stacy), save if Stacy was absent for this performance, and substitute filled in for him. Therefore, the date suggested is wrong; or, the band is Goodman’s, and the date remains in 1943, with a temporary substitute for Stacy playing piano; or, the band is not Goodman’s. Although the transcription ends just before the first clarinet solo is written into the arrangement, there is a strong clarinet lead over the sax section in the intro, and I believe that it is by Benny Goodman. I have no other rendition or this tune by Goodman that offers a like piano solo, and so I cannot offer a further provenance for this performance. I believe it was taken from another performance. By Goodman – and it sounds more like a studio performance than an “air check” – and that it was simply spliced onto the Bob Hope transcription by AFRS engineers, a practice they indulged in frequently.
This cut is not included in the manuscript for Benny Goodman: Listen To His Legacy.
