The Smokey Stover, drummer, you listed is not the same as the trumpet
player who led a band under that name. The drummer was in the house band
at the old club 47 in Studio City inthe 40'-50's, let whent to San
Francisco to work at the old Hanover there.At times he worked as
drummer, at times as a bartender. He was a fine drummer, but he had that
handle prior to the emergence of Smokey Stover of the trumpet/band name.
Smoket the drummer was later reported to have been murdered - this was a
hearsay bit of information that I got ftom another who knew him but I
cannot confirm this.
Both ofthese men were good players and good guys in their own right.
Because of their last name, it was almost a given that they would get
the handle of SMokey because of the loing time popular comic strip.
(Remember the sign on the wall -- NOTORY SOJAK?)
I hope this helps straigten out the confusion of names.
