RE: Dudley Fosdick.
Dudley also spent a few years with the Ted Weems band at the same time 
my dad was with it. In fact on one take, "That's What I Like About You, 
there is a chorus of swapped eighth bar solos, with the bridge played, 
ala Venuti-Lang trio with Red Ingle on violin, guitarist Cliff Covert, 
and Joe " Country" Washburn on bass. Dudley was also on several other 
Weems sides ca. 1933-34  before he went to Lombardo. He also worked with 
Hoagy Carmichael. He had a brother, Gene Fosdick, who was an excellent 
tenor sax man and band leader. Both were from Indiana, and a good 
reference is found in Duncan Scheidt's excellent book, "The Jazz State 
of Indiana." Much good jazz history well presented here, and great photos.
