Page 31: "In those days [in the 1920s] it was a rarity for a radio station to have a staff orchestra, but WHB did have one, the first 'staff band' in American radio. It was a very excellent one, under the direction of [Louis] Forbstein." Pages 32-33: Leith Stevens's first name is misspelled here as "Leath."
