Thanks Jim,
I had listened to Fuller with the Dukes of Dixieland and always =
admired his playing but recently heard a recording that he made with =
Teagarden that was just fantastic. I couldn't understand how or why he =
dropped out of sight. Barbering? So many players and so few barbers =
but?????? chuck

Indeed, Jerry Fuller is a great clarinetist and don't forget that he =
was with Jack Teagarden for a few years before he went with the Dukes.
