[Dixielandjazz] Re: Bix Biderbecke Copycats...Ernie Carson???

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Art,
Regarding: >PS. Tommy Loy once told me that Ernie Carson was a great cornetist,
in spite of being an a..hole.<
Ernie spent several months in Australia (played 2 gigs with my band) and we
found that he:
1. Was a great cornetist.
2. Was NOT an a..hole.
I liked his playing, his politeness, and his sense of humour.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
