The studios were created by Walt Disney's Director of Recording, Tutti Camerota, in 1958, to supply the audio for Disney films – think Mary Poppins – but everyone from the Rolling Stones to Miles Davis has recorded here. The whole world has recorded here. The new graphics reflect that, and across the street it's the Church of the Blessed Sacrament that's been there since 1921, where, in 1930, Bing Crosby married to his first wife, Dixie Lee. In 1959 it was the funeral of Mario Lanza and in 1960 the funeral for Mack Sennett. This is a curious corner of Hollywood. It’s quite worldly. ~ Tuesday, November 6, 2018
