Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated August 28, 1962 partially reads, "Benny Goodman's return to Los Angeles was a swinging affair. But the whole thing was confusing to one woman who happened to wander into the Los Angeles International Airport waiting room....She was the only one of the 250 people gathered to welcome Goodman to town that wasn't hip. Goodman is in town to fill a five-night engagement, starting Wednesday, at Disneyland....Even the Disneyland Band was there to greet the jazz king Monday. the band played 'California, Here I Come; as Goodman, dressed in a conservative gray suit with a red handerchief [sic] in his breast pocket, strolled into the waiting room. He pulled out his clarinet and joined the band in a few bars of 'Hold That Tiger.'"
