> Permit me one anecdote: I was on the board, at one point, of our local
> theater which brought in traveling shows. There was a newsletter for
> theater directors which reviewed performances. There would be questions
> about financing, audience appeal, etc. One of the questions was whether it
> was recommended for other theaters or would you invite that performer back.
> I looked up Buddy Rich performances and the comments that the performance
> was really good but they would not invite the band back because Rich would
> berate the theater audience or band members during the show.

> Most on the list know that the "lectures" on the band bus by Rich were
> notorious. Someone surreptitiously tape recorded those and sent around to
> previous members of the band. Unintended, the tapes got into general
> circulation. I've never heard them-only heard about them-and that was
> enough for me. In today's interview, Bobby Shew mentions Rich's personality,
> some of his background in growing up in a Vaudeville family and Rich's
> contentious relationship with his own father.
