Wally Rose...when I was stationed in the military in Frisco, 1952, I started making the rounds seeking names that I already knew. Rose was one I KNew from Bob Scobey's new recordings and I found him playing single in a nice little place. I went in, with my uniform on so , usually they wouldn't ask for proof of age. I sat down , ordered a drink and was enjoying Wally. I was still very naive and green. I wanted to show Wally that I knew something about this music and I asked him if he would play "the Pearls." He gave me a funny look and said, "I Just got through playing the Pearls." The classic ernest but naive jazz fan faux pax. How many times have I played the 'Muskrat Ramble' only to have a customer come up and ask for it. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
