These would be real names, not obvious nicknames like Pops Foster, Fud Livingston, Howdy Quicksell, Miff Mole, Turk Murphy. Clarinet: Albany (Barney) Bigard Trombone: DePriest Wheeler Piano: Hartzell (Tiny) Parham Banjo: Silas Cluke Bass: Wellman Braud Drums: Dash Burkis (he recorded with Wingy Manone; this may be my all-time favorite name, and I included it even though it's probably a nickname) Vocalist: Hoagland Carmichael I've saved trumpet/cornet for last, because it's really a section: Leon Bismarck Beiderbecke Langston Curl Loring (Red) Nichols Chelsea Quealy Cladys (Jabbo) Smith Lucius Watters -----Original Message----- Maurie Walker said : "Another was Singleton Palmer's band. And I seem to recall that trumpeter Dewey Jackson un-retired and re-retired several times in the late fifties." What on earth inspires parents to give their children such peculiar names? I'm having great difficulty imagining Mr. and Mrs. Palmer cooing over their newborn while leafing through a book of baby names. Mr. Palmer grunts, throws the book on the fire, then turns to his adoring wife and says, "I don't like any of 'em - let's call him Singleton". Same goes for names like Kermit Ruffins, Thelonius Sphere Monk (oh my God, what have I said? It might ignite more Barbone bent note diatribes), while Dewey calls Donald Duck's nephew to mind.
