I always liked " Bonaparte's Retreat"
Sad news about Kay Starr who I also thought was a fine singer.
I played the EP of the Gene Norman session many years ago to Barney. The EP cover had a photo of Barney and he was also credited as part of the backing group. I thought it did not sound like his usual style and he confirmed it was definitely not him. Including the track ‘Good for Nothing Joe’ .A mistake at Capitol records production. He thought it sounded like Al Hendrickson who also worked for Capitol. Barney thought he may have been booked for the session – and so the confusion - but could not make it at the last minute. Barney of course backed Kay on several occasions. Thought you may be interested.
