In 1942, Eddie was playing with Red Norvo whose band was playing at the Blue Garden in Armonk on Sunday Afternoons. Eddie's wife stayed home one Sunday, January 4, 1942, to record the WOR broadcast on a Wilcox-Gay Recorder that had been given to Eddie by his father. In 1992, the acetate originals were used for this recording. Red remained a life long friend of Eddie's says in the liner notes: "I thought the band was quite different from anything around. It was very modern, very linear." In this clip, Eddie sings and solos in I'm Tellin' You.
