[Dixielandjazz] Cornetist King Fisher

[Jack Mitchell]

Bill Haesler covered King's  Australian career quite well, although he 
played first in Brisbane with a group called also (I think) the Riverside JB 
or Jazz Group, then went to Perth to join the Riverside Jazz Band, and 
travelled to Sydney with that group for the 17th Australian Jazz Convention 
in December, 1962. The band stayed on  in Sydney, had a short residency at 
the Ling Nam, then broke up and the members moved into other bands.

When he gave up the trumpet he moved to Queensland or northern NSW, playing 
guitar and living a somewhat "Hippy" life. So I'm told. However when a 
family came along, he moved to South Australia, believing that a better area 
to bring up children.

Best wishes
