[Steve Voce]

I stand corrected! But the information regarding Eddie's grudge is correct, told to me by Bud.

Bud’s Summa Cum Laude band with Condon had been very successful in the musical ‘Swingin’ The Dream’. After its short run, Bud was asked to take the band on tour. He dropped Eddie from the band because Eddie was drunk most of the time and Bud thought he would spoil the tour. Condon held a grudge for the rest of his life, although it melted a bit as they both got older. "
