How  could I have forgotten my dear, dear frind and fellow Jazz Ltd.band 
mate,  the late Quinn Wilson. Quinn platyed both sousaphone and stand up 
string  bass and both very, very well. Quinn, at the young age of 16, 
recorded  with Jelly Roll Morton Red Hot Peppers in Chicago. Later he 
worked for  many years with Earl "Fatha" Hines in Chicago at the Club 
DeLise and other  clubs..



I remember visiting Jazz Limited in Chicago in the 1970's and hearing Quinn  
with the house band.  He was a very nice fellow and on that night was  
complaining of angina pains.  Apparently, he knew he had a bad heart, but  played 
right through it.  Is he still around?  He also played with  Tiny Parham's Band 
in the 1920's.  There was some very energetic tuba  playing on those 
arrangements.
