[Dixielandjazz] R.I.P. ZULU

[Burt Wilson]

My condolences re: Zula Ball's passing. He used to come in and sit in with
the Jazzin' Babies at the Red Vest in San Fernando, north of Los Angeles.
Always full of stories.

> On 7/9/03 Ralph"Zulu"Ball died of complications stemming from a long
battle with hypertension and diabetes. He was a bassman known for his black
tuba which was first seen when he subbed for the Firehouse Five at the
Harrah's Reno antique auto tour in the mid fifties ('56 or '57). He always
said he wanted a happy celebration when he died, a New Orleans style send
off. I am looking for any of his old friends or kindred spirits to help me
make this happen. The event will most likely happen somewhere in southern
california in the not too distant future. As his oldest son, I will be glad
to recieve any and all input at res6nvix at verizon.net or (661)729-6814.
