Dolores, home at three
NEW YORK '58 sat in a small apartment in midtown, turned down low so the neighbours wouldn't knock.
NEW YORK '58 is a walnut-brown set with chrome slats, a bakelite knob and a warm amber slide rule. It belonged to Dolores, a hat-check girl at a midtown supper club in 1958.
Her note is on hotel stationery, in lipstick-red ink.
Home at 3, shoes off, 98.7 on low so the neighbours don't knock. The band at the club was better. Don't tell the radio.
Three stations and a room
Supper Club on 92.3, Late Jazz on 98.7 and Rooftop Ballads on 104.7. The room is the street below at night.
NEW YORK '58 is a sound pack in Dial. Try it for 60 seconds first.
