[Dixielandjazz] Tommy Loy

[Bob Romans]

This just came over the TPIN (That's "Trumpet Player's International Network")
I thought some of you who knew Tommy might not have heard this story...it sounds like Tommy's sense of humor!

Ahh... reminds me of a fond memory told of former TPIN listmate, Tommy 
Loy...

It seems that in Tommy's younger days, he and his band would often play 
while jumping on tables, piano's, etc... Once, the band was hired for a 
private party at a very nice, expensive home... While playing, Tommy got a 
little carried away and reportedly jumped on the dining room table, which 
promptly broke into two pieces.  Without missing a beat, Tommy jumped up and 
yelled, "Let's get out of here before someone notices!"  ;^)

One of many nice memories....

Regards,
Fred
