[Dixielandjazz] Tenor Guitar

[Don Ingle]

Rick wrote about earlier days in Colorado Springs:

"The Blue Blowers were a precursor to The Hoosier Hot Shots, who started 
on the National Barn Dance & migrated to Hollywood.  They had Clarinet,
> Washboard, Bass and Tenor Guitar, and their sound was very distinctive...
> Spike Jones cites the Hot Shots as one of his major influences."

Interseting how connections with places as well as people show up here. 
I spent first two years of college at Colorado College inthe Springs 
inthe early '50, ad gigged with Paul Trietch Jr., his dad the "Hezzie" 
of the Hoosier Hot Shots, and with a fraternity brother, (a couple years 
ahead of us), Max Morath, who had a local afternoon radio show at the 
time. We had a clarinet, Paul played a little drums and guitar, myself 
on cornet, and of course Max on piano -  a one man rhythm section in his 
own right.
Stubby Heist of our list spent some time playing in the Springs area, 
though later than our "Beta All Stars."
Then of course, my old man was a major part of the classic Spike Jones 
period of the 40's, so the links, if not direct, seem to keep cropping 
up. As one of our earliest listees was know to say. "Is this a great 
list or what?"
