I read years and years ago that in the '40's, he was making $45,000 a week!! and felt bad because the first clarinet in some world class symphony (N.Y) was making $150 a week.

Good life for him. I think I have some records lying around of his. Rare no doubt. Hmmm,...eBay time. Naw I say. Shaw'nuff.
