This Broadcast Was Made During The Time That Bix Was
Breaking In Jimmy McPartland To Take His Place.

Eddie Pinder. Now here's an interesting
guy. Just kind of came in, and went
back out of the Whiteman orchestra.
He doesn't really turn up in too many
other bands either. However he ended
up being a frequent visitor at the 44th
St. Hotel, visiting with Bix during the
years 1930 and 1931. Quite a few
musicians remembered this.

Mable, This is it. We can't miss! Why,
when Mr. Whiteman catches our act,
he'll dump those Rhythm Boys so fast,
I'll bet they'll end up working for Gus
Arnheim! Ha! Are you ready? Let's
go..one..two.."Shaking like a leaf on
a tree..."

This is Joe Cook. Joe was part of the
1928 Whiteman tour. Did some comedy
in the show and had great reviews for his
cornet playing! A little known bit of trivia
for you. A 1928 photo.

Min Leibrook. Now there was a guy who
could have told you some things about
Bix! He was with Bix on his first recording.
He was also on Bix's last (known) recording.

He's Just pissed off because his middle name is Roach.

The Whiteman brass section posing for Holton. And
there's Eddie Pinder on the left. It seems that Bix
looks to be the tallest guy in the section. Go figure.

This is the Whiteman Sax section for the Holton Ad.
Notice that Tram shaved off the moustache. I have
Tram's Holton instument trunk from 1928. It has the
remains of some great looking stickers on it!

1929 Broadcast.
B-B-B-Bing was starting to take off.

Might as well do it right and include the
Trombone section of the Holton Ad. From the left
it's Jack Fulton, Bill Rank, Wilbur Hall & Boyce
Cullen. Cullen is another interesting guy. Not too
much is known about him, but he was a close
friend of Bix. Also one of his favorite drinking
buddies! And he's another guy who visited Bix
quite often during the years 1930 & 1931.
Mr. Potato-Head is in the center. Why did some
people call the Potato Head label, vulgar? I like
'em! I like the Victor sound much more than
Columbia's, but it's a nice label. So there.

Is it just me,or does Laemmle look like a tiny David
Letterman?

1858 - The Beiderbecke Family Was Already A Part
Of Davenport's Musicial Scene. Their Biggest
Contribution Was Still Around 45 Years In the
Future!
