Subj: Re: [kl] looking for Billy Starkel recordings
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 05:18:38 -0500

Portland, OR is my hometown - where I grew up. I never heard of this
guy. Since my father was fairly tight in the musician's union as well as
the symphony there, he knew all of the well-known clarinetists and band
leaders. He's never heard of him either.

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
