[Dixielandjazz] Bunny Berigan

[Don Ingle]

At a guess it might have ben Johnny Carrol, one fo the few white guys to 
play in Basie's brass section, and also with the Duke at one time. He 
was around cicago gggin in the 50's when I  knew him. Big guy, 
mustachiod upper lip and could sight read anything you tossed in front 
of him. But then that is just one guess.
