Sidenote: The most famous "drop" from The US Armed Forces (then The Navy) School of Music was none other than private Buddy (no middle name) Rich, USMC. Rich attended S.O.M. in early 1942 but never graduated and was discharged shortly after. When I was attending S.O.M. the legend was that the arrogant young draftee refused a direct order to play with brushes although the details are scarce and the legend has grown in the telling. If the time-line given by his biographers is correct, Rich would have been 33 years-old at the time with 31 years of show business experience.

Buddy first debuted as the finale of his parents' Vaudeville act in 1920 at the age of two. Billed as "Baby Traps" The Drum Wonder, he brought down the house playing "Stars & Stripes Forever" on a field drum. By age 10, Buddy was the world's second highest paid child star behind Buster Keaton making a cool $1,000 per week in 1927 when you could own a new Ford Coupe for the whooping price tag of $1,000 and change.

By age 17, Buddy embarked on a world tour and by the time WWII rolled around he had owned the drum throne with Bunny Berigan (1938), Artie Shaw (1939), the Vic Schoen Orchestra (the band that backed the Andrews Sisters) and Tommy Dorsey's Orchestra. As fitting as the "refusal to play with brushes" story sounds, it seems much more likely that Buddy got his discharge from the Marines so that he could return to Dorsey's Organization, his stardom (and top billing over the band's young singer, Frank Sinatra) and his six figure income.

Here's Buddy in 1945 with Lester Young on Sax and Nat "King" Cole on the piano and yes, Buddy is using brushes. As Gene Krupa once said, "Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer to ever draw breath."

Sidenote: "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" was composed in 1959 by Charles Mingus in homage to Lester Young and is a beloved call in any band's book. Here are several interpretations of the elegy, including Joni Mitchell's touching lyrics which she wrote in collaboration with Mingus shortly before his death in 1978.

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
~ Jeff Beck featuring Richard Bailey on Drums ~

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
~ Stanley Clarke, Larry Carlton, Deron Johnson & Najee featuring Billy Cobham on Drums ~

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
~ Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker & Lyle Mays featuring Don Alias on Drums ~

When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
They put him in Cellars and chitlins'

When Lester took him a wife
Arm and arm went black and white
And some saw red
And drove them from their hotel bed
Love is never easy
It's short of the hope we have for happiness
Bright and sweet
Love is never easy street!
Now we are black and white
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
Or be hung in a tree
That's unlikely!

Tonight these crowds
Are happy and loud
Children are up dancing in the streets
In the sticky middle of the night
Summer serenade
Of taxi horns and fun arcades
Where right or wrong
Under neon
Every feeling goes on!
For you and me
The sidewalk is a history book
And a circus
Dangerous clowns
Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
They have been handed
Day by day
Generations on down

We came up from the subway
On the music midnight makes
To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
In taxi horns and brakes
Now Charlie's down in Mexico
With the healers
So the sidewalk leads us with music
To two little dancers
Dancing outside a black bar
There's a sign up on the awning
It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"
And there's two black babies dancing there
Tonight

Indeed...I first saw it when Yorkie posted it. I just had to
“borrow” to use here. I didn’t realize it would be needed for
such a dreadful and sad cause as this one. :(

I got word that my Introduction to Federalism class has been moved up to Monday night, with a repeat performance on the 16th. I've been scrambling to get my presentation down to a mere 30 minutes.

The heat and humidity barely registers with me as I have been closeted at my computer all day.
