The other basnd played at Ciro's and I think Frank was on part of the 
stand. Tommy Pederson was on trombone
and did the Flight of the Bumblebee solo on the record they made avout 
then.
In Arpil of that year, Dad and I took Frank with us to fish the Sepe 
river for trout, and he damn near drowned himself
-- a long story there, printed up inthe Sacramento Jazz Sociatey 
newsletter.
And yes, his work with the Early Herman band was wonderful, indeed. He 
wne into the studios after that and like many of the fine jazz players 
never got to play it much at all after that. Just cashed the checks.
