[Dixielandjazz] Fats Waller

[Stephen Barbone]

Don Ingle wrote about Fats Waller:

< He was, by all accounts a roaring heterosexual alcoholic. >

And Jazz Jerry commented:

< A man after my own heart - problem is a I can't play the piano and I'm
too old to start now! >

To which I add the following career advice, no charge:

No problem Jerry. Get one of those programmable electronic pianos and
plug in Fats.  You can fake being the piano player, and evoke the
"roaring heterosexual alcoholic" persona, complete with falsetto voice
to the delight of the punters. ;-) VBG

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
