Lonnie Wright is from Great Bend, Kansas. He cut the record when he was in Texas doing training for WW2 . He put it out funded with his bunk mate ! It was recorded at the base radio studio with troop members as backing (Free form refers to recording off the cuff, which is the name they put on the label) . Lonnie celebrated his 94th birthday in 2014. I lost track of him around then .

Santos, the UCLA archive has tons of session sheets from the 30s-60s . It's a hoot to dig around in !

Listener Don:
How bout some lunkhead doo-wop (e.g. Mr. Bassman). Great show, Rex.
Santos, the sheets are not online. I have them on a drive. The public digital archive is a very small part of the collection at UCLA. You will need a uni card to dig on location. Have fun !
