[Dixielandjazz] Bolenisms!!

[Thompson]

In the days BEFORE it was politically incorrect to refer to a woman as
inferior, I was told by my drummer husband that girls could not (didn't
have the ability) play drums.  Then our daughter came along and joined
the drum line and did very well!  However, she never could play the trap
set.

Many of you don't know Gene Bolen but those of you that do will
appreciate a Bolenism that came up at a gig today.  When referring to a
drummer Gene would say, "Oh, He plays like a girl!"  When referring to a
particularly bad drummer, He might say, "He plays like a young girl.!"
You had to know him, and those of you that don't, missed one of the real
characters of jazz music! later,
