<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">There were a number of bands playing regularly in the 50's. Red Nichols was<BR>
active then. Eddie Skrivanic' Sextette from Hunger; Ted Vesley's JB; Pee Wee<BR>
Hunt toured the club circuit; and I worked for awhile on the Original<BR>
Saints and Sinners Jazz Band with Darnell Howard and Jimmy Archey (Barrett<BR>
Deems for a awhile on the band before he joined Louis.) </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
Don: I'm pretty sure that Barrett Deems was on the Saints and Sinners after he was with Louis. Barrett was with Muggsy before louis.<BR>
When were the S & S in action? I Remember when Barrett was with them that Norm Murphy was on trumpet and Vic Dickenson on trombone. Were you on this before Murphy?<BR>
