Benny Goodman
NEW YORK (AP) — Benny Goodman gave a little party
to announce that he’ll give a concert in Carnegie Hall in

smashing success — on Jan. 16, 1938. The anniversary
concert will be Jan. 17,1978, because Carnegie already is
booked for the 16th.

suppose it would be optimistic, really, to wait 50 years.’
She said, ‘Not optimistic — unrealistic.’”
