Re: [ARSCLIST] Musical Arts Symphony?

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The venue sounds like it could be Chicago. The playing was definitely not 
second-rate, so it was made somewhere where a "pickup" or "recording" 
orchestra could be massed from good local talent. Then again, this goes back 
to a time when even medium-sized cities had decent symphonies and people 
came out to hear them.
