[Dixielandjazz] Fats Waller memories

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

My dad (long gone) was an ardent Waller fan also. When I was a little kid  he 
took me to hear the Great One at, I believe, the Paramount (sp) in N.Y.C. I  
remember Fats dressed splendidly in all white-I believe behind an organ. 
But what REALLY impressed an eight year old kid was the elaborate marble  
tiled men's room when I told Dad )" I gotta go" while Fats was doing his  thing. 
 
Ah,  memories-----                                                  Ted
