Ralph Flanagan Orchestra - Nevertheless (singer, Harry Prime)

Sid played on this track.

From Herb Stark:

Here's an internet radio show where listeners call in.  Harry Prime, Peggy King , George Roumanis (who used to play bass in the Flanagan band) and I were on a few weeks ago.  It was fun!  Put this in your computer:

You will see that Peggy King will be 'starring' on this show Sunday, May 22nd.  If you call, I'm sure she'll be delighted since she remembers singing with the Flanagan band when Sid was playing.  It's a lot of fun and host Chris Valenti (broadcasting from Vero Beach, Florida) does a great job of making call-ins feel at ease.  You can check the Harry Prime show when you bring up this 'Big Band Sunday Night Special' announcement.  I plan to call along with Harry and George and maybe Hannah Flanagan (she's coming up to 92 on May 29) but she's a very private person.  But I'll ask her.    It's a 2 hour show starting at 7 PM eastern time.
