I called the 714-626-0196 number at Carson Entertainment and left a voicemail a few days ago concerning the November 29, 1962 episode with Maynard. Today, I received a very nice, detailed voicemail from a guy named Jeff from Carson Entertainment. He did confirm that all the episodes from 1962-1972 were erased. He also said he is a Maynard Ferguson fan.

One would have to believe that somebody out there had an audio tape recorder set up next to the TV that night and taped the MF performance. Come on, a guy can dream, can't he??
