Re: Goldkette. (my 2c)
Did you know that Alvy West played lead alto with him and
also with Whiteman. He's still alive and kicking. Works out
every day in his private gym.
Unfortunately I left NY a few months ago so I don't see him
anymore. He had special clarinets and sax's built for him.
One arm is about 1/3 the normal length. The guy has tons
of interesting stories but I can't convince him to use email.
Cheers,
