Re: Any recordings of Joe Allard performing?

Allard was a working musician who had a regular gig with the Bell Telephone Hour radio and TV show for many years (1940 to 1958 on the radio and 1958? to 1965 on TV). Some students of his (e.g. Edward Joffe) had complied a list of DVD's with him playing in the orchestra on that show, but I don't know what became of it. I do know some of the DVDs are still available from https://www.lovingtheclassics.com if you search there for "Bell Telephone Hour," but I can't tell you which ones he's on. Jimmy Abato and Daniel Bonade played with the Bell Telephone Orchestra too at certain times. Somewhere there is a video of Bonade playing the cadenza in Orpheus in Hades. I recall a video of Allard playing the Rhapsody and Blue solo with an orchestra but all the other details are blurred. I don't know of any solo or chamber music recordings that Allard ever did.
