<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To the best of my recollection, Trummy looked like
he had a good tan. I can understand why he'd look white, especially
in the company of darker members of his race. Barney Bigard, a creole,
looked absolutely white. This got him into constant trouble when he
traveled in the deep south with Duke or Louis. He had many stories
on this subject. A sad situation for all. Dick</FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR> When Trummy first joined Louis He was just a
distant name to me from the big band era. So when I went to see him with
Louis, here was this very young looking guy. Also confusing was the fact
that in some pictures he looked white or close to it.<BR><BR>
Trummy and Teagarden were both very different trombonists and both of them
complimented Louis beautifully.<BR><BR> Jim Beebe</FONT>
