"Everybody Wants A Little Peace" - Billy Gray's Hollywood Band Box Review

Seventy years ago today, President Harry S. Truman declared that the United States would provide political, military and economic aid to democratic nations under threat from external or internal totalitarian forces. This policy would come to be known as the Truman Doctrine. Accordingly, Truman announced that he would ask Congress for a substantial aid package for Greece and Turkey.

This "party" record from 1948 by the house band at the Hollywood Band Box, a nightclub on Beverly Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, near the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles, is probably the only record about the Truman Doctrine that was ever made.
