The world will little note nor long remember the fact that Mercury 
Records was also the home label of my namesake, Dick Two Ton Baker, 
the Music Maker of Chicago.  If you're "of an age" and come from 
Chicago, you'll remember him and may want to visit 
http://twotonbaker.com for recollections of Two Ton, a performer of 
novelty songs whose only tie to the jazz world was that he was a very 
good friend of Duke Ellington.
