  At one time, George Simon called Barnet's band "The Blackest White Band".

  Before he died, Benny Goodman's trumpeter brother, Irving, told me that 
  playing in Barnet's band was his favorite time as a musician.


  Stan:

  From stories I've heard from guys who were there, Charlie and the band never let playing music get in the way of having a good time
