“My first big break was with the Ted Fio Rito band. Fio Rito had a bunch of record hits in the 1930s and did a lot of radio work back then. When he came to my home town in early 1942, I sat in with the band. Ted liked me and offered me a job.” FirstsHomeBigsJobsBreakRecordsBandTownsRadioBunchSat1930sHome Town Author:Louie Bellson
