[Dixielandjazz] Mickey Rooney

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Mickey Rooney identified himself as a Bodie, when he came to Scotland some years ago, his father was it seems from Paisley, like a distinguished colleague who contributes to our correspondence. Bodie pronounced 'buddy'


Slim Gaillard aficionados will know of the occasion when in Billy Berg's club the vocal virtuoso of Vout shouted to the actor, in his audience, "hey, Mickeyroonee, what's your second name?"

good wishes!
