I had heard a far fetched story which came to mind after reading a recent
posting. Is there any truth to the following--

Frank Cohen was in a music shop or somesuch many years ago. In walked
Benny Goodman. Here was this young Frank and Goodman was kind of ripping
on him and somehow he discovered that Frank was working of the Nielsen. .
.getting ready to play (maybe even record) it. Goodman kind of laughed
and then went out and decided himself to record the Nielsen (partly to
not be shown up by FC).

Obviously a lot of details were taken out and a lot of facts ommitted.
