101 Strings Orchestra
Copy cat: Dick Miller started 101 Strings Orchestra as a way to capitalize on songs made famous by other band leaders.
101 Strings Orchestra specialize in orchestral, instrumental songs that are almost all cover versions of popular songs.
When the effort began in 1957, the "collective" was known as 101 Strings.
Much of the Strings' output from the 1960's was re-released during the '90s as a new generation got turned on to lounge.
