Deep River Boys, 1943-1970s
Dates
- 1943-1970s
Scope and Contents
A note by Ed Kirkeby indicates that he may have given many of his business records of his years with the Deep River Boys to the group's leader Harry Douglass in the early 1960s. This series contains similar material found in abundance in the records of the California Ramblers and Fats Waller, including business correspondence, details of the group's repertoire and recordings and notes of the venues and contacts associated with the Deep River Boys international touring over decades. Sound recordings preserve live recordings as well as audition tapes for CBS television.
