Saw another film with Teddy Buckner playing trumpet on tv.   This time it
was one called D.O.A. with Edmond O'Brien starring.  A film set in San
Francisco, and Teddy was playing in a bar called "The Fisherman", along with
a rhythm section and a saxophonist.  Very modern jazz, not Dixie!  From
1950, in black & white.  Teddy looked young, but just as "round" as ever.
 
I knew he was used a lot in films because he could look a lot lot Louis
Armstrong, and it was cheaper to get him.  He may even have told me that,
but it could have been one of the guys in his band that told me.
