Carroll John Daly - any reviews?
I found some references about Carroll John Daly - he would be the first hard-boiled writer, before Hammett. Published in Black Mask, early 1920s. Quite obscure - ever here in FL no one wrote about him. What do you think about his books? Is he as good like the masters...- martinsantos

Spike Jones Popularity?
Just discovered that Spike Jones and His City Slickers are very popular ever between those who usually wouldn't have any curiosity about 40s music. And ever more than several other orchestras.
