Hello Dr. Biel, I was wondering if you have managed to find this transcription disk from the 1920s of the Clyde Doerr Saxophone Orchestra Radio Show. It is important historically. It was very stupid of me not to get the title, date and radio station name. You mentioned a fellow in Holland who might have copied this E-Bay advertisement. I do appreciate your help in this important matter. I am writing a book. Cordially, Professor Bryan Kendall ________________________________ From: Michael Biel <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 6:36 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] 1920s - 30s Radio Transcription of the Clyde Doerr Saxophone Orchestra My goodness, pardon all the typos. I was experimenting with Leah's new tablet and have learned that I cannot type well on it!! Here is what the message should have looked like. The discograpy is an expensive (over $600) 4 volume set from Greenwood Press. I am not near my copy to check the index. I did get to online samples but we might need the program title. I will ask over at the 78-L where we have a member in Holland who seemingly downloads every record image from ebay. He might have it. The regular Old time Radio collectors rarely are interested in programs this early, and it is likely that this disc is unique and not in circulation anyway. And someone over there could check in their copy of Laird. Unfortunately most of the other syndication companies are not well discographied. For example, the Columbia books don't include the matrix series that the broadcast ETs fall in, and all the other syndicators had their own files.

I simply did not realize the value of the Transcription at the time. Can you tell me about Ross Laird's Brunswick Discography ? I have not heard of it. Is there any other way to find this Clyde Doerr Saxophone Orchestra 1920s Radio Transcription? Thank you. bryan From: Michael Biel <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 5:10 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] 1920s - 30s Radio Transcription of the Clyde Doerr Saxophone Orchestra Did you download the photo of the record and/or write the info given in the auction? Was it a National Radio Advertising Company program? If so, the info might be in Ross Laird's Brunswick Discography.

It was sold on E-Bay 6 months ago. The recording date was of this approximate date (late 1920s - early 1930s). It was of the Clyde Doerr Saxophone Orchestra or possibly called the Clyde Doerr Saxophone Ensemble. He had a radio show. I wish I knew the date of the show and the name of the show. This band had only 6 - 9 saxophones - soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone and bass saxophone. Clyde Doerr was the most visible saxophonist of the Roaring 1920s and was one of, if not the first, studio musician. He played on thousands of recordings in the 1920s. This Radio Transcription is important historically. I am a scholar writing a book on this subject. I would be pleased to pay for a copy to study. Thank you. bryan kendall you may e-mail to me at: [log in to unmask]
