The Wolverines at Gennett. Bix could really look different from one photo to the next.
Mike Pingatore AKA "The Devil" was the guy who notated for Whiteman, who was late and how late they were. A few guys resented that. He was a fine banjo player.
OK! Here's another puzzle for you. Notice this young lady at the Harp? The story is that Bix really fell for her in a big way. But it just didn't workout.
Tram & John Zentner in Mexico - 1952
Sad story about a fire breaking out in a theater that was showing "King Of Jazz".
Another example of Good British Taste - 1928.
Over 70 years later things haven't changed that much. People are still fighting over immigration. And Amelia Earhart is still lost.
If only they had made the Vitaphone film.

Whiteman gained a wife and pretty much lost his band. Things were never really the same again.
Tram and his vocal group "The Modernaires" 1937
Later on they broke down and bought a few Kazoo Lips Cd's. Miss Grundy was caught in a closet with Jughead and sent to jail. Jughead is still in the closet.
