[Dixielandjazz] PLAYING TUNES MADE FAMOUS BY OTHERS

[jack wiard]

Hi All,

       I remember doing a gig with the terrific San Francisco trumpet player 
Byron Berry. Someone asked him to play Bunny Berrigans' "I Cant Get 
Started."  Berry did a wonderful treatment of the song and the lady who 
requested the song yelled out loudly..."That didn"t sound like Bunny 
Berrigan".    The audience hushed as Byron slowly shooked out the water 
valves, then approached the microphone and said..."Madam, does your dog bark 
like Lassie'?     I don"t recall the lady asking for any other tunes that 
night.

                                                  CHEERS....JACK WIARD
