Probably unfortunately for me, I’ve heard of him but never listened to a note of his music. I grew up in Detroit, and we listened to Motown and the local musicians such as Seger, Mitch Ryder, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk, Ted Nugent, the English invasion, and dozens of other groups and musicians. RIP Pete Fountain.

I grew up in Detroit...I just posted this on another thread:
I saw him play at a Jazz festival in downtown Detroit about 42 years ago. I went with some high school friends who played the clarinet. I had no idea who he was.

It's your interest that matters...Pete Fountain played on the level of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and all the other great clarinetists of the world.
Your handle- gigster- are you a musician? It would figure because of your interest in truly great musicians.
