THE LAW & LOUIS, MEZZ & THE MOB
I'll be standin' on the corner high, When they drag your body by. -- Louis Armstrong on "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You!"
What Insight! "I am not speaking about the good musicians, but the jazz type" Ouch! Ya got me, Pal. An entire orchestra arrested?

I wonder if Jackie Cooper won any awards for this performance? A Golden Bong? Oh, notice they say "Top Ranking" clarinetist. Does anyone out there have a copy of this show? Please contact me if you do. Who played clarinet on the soundtrack? Benny? Pee Wee? Edmond Hall? Whoopee John Wilfart?
NO! NO! Are You Crazy? When I Said I Wanted Mertz, I meant PAUL, not FRED!
Hi Kids! It's me, Mezz. I'm here to tell you, JUST SAY NO! Look at me. I had it all, money, fame, Jackie Cooper even played me on a TV Show! But look what happened. Some guy came out with these Kazoo Lips CD's. People enjoy them so much that I'm stuck with a room full of my books. Haven't sold one since 1954. Even Max Kaminsky sells more books than I do! And he's white! My records? Nothing but wall hangers now. I just sit around and smoke. Damn you Kazoo Lips! I'm going back to France. At least they know a genius when they see one.
