[Dixielandjazz] addendum to Goldkette stable thread

[Don Ingle]

I forgot an important member of the stellar group of players who worked 
with Goldkette units. That was Russ Morgan.
Russ was, as dad always noted, a well-trained musician and arranger and 
in fact did orchestrations for the Detroit Symphony. Dad, who was a very 
tallented artist, had a beautiful hand for copying parts, and Russ would 
hire him to copy the parts from his scores. Dad somtimes laughed when he 
said "scores," since Russ would toss off a page at a time for Red to 
extract parts to copy, and never seemed to have a full score on hand at 
one time, yet they would play perfectly. Russ would toss over a page of 
the score and dad would copy parts while they were sitting at a kitchen 
table sipping something from the Canadian side of the Detroit River. 
Somehow the scores were written and parts were copied, but the bootleg 
era sauce would no doubt curl the toenails back on the uninitiated.
I am sure that my 80-year-old skull will dredge up another name or two 
before long, but right now I am having my one allowable dram per day of 
single malt and the siren call of the usque baugh calleth me hence. 
Aberlour it is today - Highland Park tomorrow. Something to look forward to.
Slainte,
Don
