@ Bob Mac, thank you for the link. Reading Franks bio I wish someone had written his complete story plus his jokes.

@PierreM: 'Bill'Daniels at that time was the minister of the church these recordings were made (29/10/72 at Margaret Hewitt Hall, First Church Congregational Cambridge Massachusetts). He was a Sun expert. If I remember well he once mentioned that he wrote a book about Sun Records. Haven't heard from him since then.

Track 6, titled "Upon A Partidge Tree", is actually "Bonaparte's Retreat" as per dialog on recording.
