Skitch Henderson - Romantic Latin American Favorites (Seeco 1957)

Vinyl Rip Of The Day. My scan too.

Lyle "Skitch" Henderson was ubiquitous on radio and TV during the fifties and early 60's. Among other gigs, he was the original conductor for "The Today Show" and "The Tonight Show". I also recall seeing him often on game shows like "The Match Game". Unfortunately, he went to prison for tax evasion arising out of his donation of a music library to the University of Wisconsin.

Skitch also (as I know Sam knows) was more than a bandleader but a conductor replacing Toscanini as NBC's conductor in the 50s (it still seems funny that networks had conductors back in the day) as well as founding Carnegie Hall's New York Pops Orchestra

My 18 year old son wanted Jason Isbell tickets for his birthday and he's taking me :thumbsup:

I only have a passing knowledge of Isbell's stuff (more from his Drive By Truckers days) so brushing up on his solo stuff this week. Concert is Saturday :banana:
