Bix Loves His Holton! Tram said that Bix had the finest custom made Clarke Model Holton that they could make. He also said that Bix was very proud of this horn.
DID YOU KNOW? A couple of different sources mentioned that when Bix died, they found two cornets in his room. One was a Bach and the other was a well worn Conn Victor. The Bach made it back to the family, but someone came by and stole the Conn Victor. There was also a record in his room. All that's known about it is that it had a blue label.
Pops Was Every Cartoonist Dream.
This is the Atlanta concert that was followed by a party thrown by Bix's sister Mary Louise. She fell in love with the way Jack Fulton sang "Melancholy Baby". The review of this concert is on the right ---> "Melancholy Baby" looks like it was a big hit in the concert as well!
Who could be a better plug for Kazoo Lips CD's than the Mound City Blue Blowers? And anyone who thinks that Eddie Condon wasn't one of the finest rhythm guitar players in the business should have a hole drilled in their head to let the sap out. A true hero of jazz. And a hell of a nice guy!
