Discography[edit]

There seems to be a problem with the Adobe document link for the Hazevoet discographies. Is there another URL? Use https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83140263/Don%20Byas%201938-1946.pdf and https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83140263/Don%20Byas%201946-1972.pdf.?Hollomis (talk) 18:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
