As a young palyer in L.A. area, I odten fropped into the small clubs to
ear somce fo the bands that were active, and a favored place to fnd them
was the Royal Room on Hollywood Blvd. The room was long ad aks had a
second room beyond the first. One time Wingy Manone was playing the
front room, and a be-bop band played in the back room. On this occasion
things were slow, so when a few people came in and by=passed the Manone
bandstand heading to the backroom, Wingy shouted out -- "Hey -- don't go
back there and listen to that s*** -- stay up front and *hear the truth*!"
The stunned people stopped, turned, and sat down, as if afraid of what
Wingy might do next!
