I guess it's only natural that gents who spend a lot of time playing or
listing to music in beer halls would wander into confusion over dicks and
johns, but no, it was a John Doner, who played trombone and doubled on
flute (don't ask why), who moved from here to Florida in the early '80s.
We gave him a hell of a sendoff: A big party at Northern Virginia's
favorite jazz joint, which burned down later that night, never to go back
into business.
