Follow Ups:
Possibly HE but not really typical but it's a Count trumpet player like maybe BC??
Yep, it's BC.

I listened to some of these things the same way jazzers listen to stuff from 1985. Remember that 1935 plus 20 is 1955. Our roots were not from the same trees that have grown now. Besides that, it ain't easy being older in a younger person's game. I still have a little bit of memory left, just a little.
...I just happen to know that you DID see most of these guys live, so you were close enough. You weren't out clubbing at the age of 10?

But I was CUBBING before I was 10. Our Cub Scout troop in Paterson, NJ was run by all cats who played music. We lived in apartments and in those days playing an instrument was required by our families. Everybody lived within about 100ft of each other. We didn't learn much about knots and leaves but our field trips were to the Paramount and the Roxy to hear the big bands and watch a movie. I saw Woody Herman "The Band That Played The Blues" (that was before the first herd), Benny Goodman's Band, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey etc. None of us ever got a merit badge but we heard some fine music. We might have been the only Cub Scout Troop of it's kind in the US. None of us, as far as I know ever became Boy Scouts. I moved to Fair Lawn when I was 9 so the old days were behind me. Therefore I was stepping out before 10 years old.
