Does anyone remember when George died,or what happened to all the stuff he recorded? Somebody must have it somewhere? I'd love to re-issue it.

Didn't George Braxton have a real estate office out of which he ran the Fox label??

Hi Marylyn,
I'd love to look through the photos you have when I visit Detroit this September. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a copy of your book while I'm there.
How did you know George Braxton? I think he had various labels, including Brax, Fox, Dial plus a few others. Mike Hanks had a release on the Brax label - did you ever meet Mike?

Hi Graham-
First,anyone who visits the Detroit area from this forum automatically has a built-in tourist guide,if they want.
I knew George very well,because I 've been in this crazy business since 1955. He did a lot of promotion work for John Kaplan,& so did I. I also wrote for Teen Life Newspaper. Yes,he DID have a lot of labels. I just wish I knew what happened to them. I'm negotiating to buy a major label from Detroit now,& I'd like to add those to the catalog.
I don't think I know Mike Hanks,but it's been a lot of years,so I'm not sure.
