[Dixielandjazz] Woody Allen - Part Two

[Eddy]

So, like most other people who shoot their mouths off, you are not going to state who these two people are -- is that correct? If so, are they men enough to step forward and declare this, or are they like you, who would shout out and be too chicken ---- to stand behind it??? My name is Eddy Ray Davis!!!!

> way back in 1966 I played all the reeds, B f, contra, bass and alto which was my best and favorite but had to play the B f in the Women's Army Corps Band But have not played for many years and if you read what I wrote, I in no way put down anyone who played with Woody but in fact said I really tried to just listen to the good musicians on stage but couldn't over the noise coming out of his horn and yes, I will stand by my knowledge of reeds. It may have been many years ago, but at one time, I was quite good thank you. One of the things Woody does is surround himself with very good musicians but again, I will ask, if you are or were so good, would you hire him had he not been Woody Allen, to play with your band, after listening to him play?
