Man Tries to Burn Down Record Store After They Wouldn't Buy His Records

"Orange visited Vinyl Resting Place in the St. Johns neighborhood in Portland on Aug. 27 and attempted to sell some records, according to charging documents. When the store owner declined, Orange allegedly threatened to kill him and said he was a 'dead man.'"

I want to know what he tried to sell. Probably that Herb Alpert record.

Kraft Music Hall, March 23/April 20, 1939 Transcriptions?

I've been looking at the KMH for performances of Hawaiian music. On the two shows in the title (#138 and #142), Bing performed the song "Honolulu" from the movie of the same name. Both of those performances are available on LP or CD. However, he also performed parodies of the song, which don't seem to be available on LP or CD. Neither Radioechoes.com or OTR (Old Time Radio) have transcriptions of these shows. My thinking is that, if LPs were later released with the straight versions of "Honolulu", the whole show could/should exist. Does anyone have any ideas for where else I might be able to source the transcription of those shows?

Minimum Order Amount

I just went to buy a CD priced at $9.98 from a seller, but it turns out that they have a minimum order quantity, which appears to be $37.04 (the warning in the cart says I am $20.02 short of the min.). I mean, seriously, I know they are trying to get people to order more from them, but what is the point of even listing a CD for $10 if you aren't willing to fulfill the order? They have nothing else I want. Their policy says "no exceptions".
