Who’s Yehudi?

According to family lore.....Yehudi lived in our refrigerator. He turned on the light inside the refrigerator, when we opened the door.

Took me a little backbreaking Wiki work (two minutes) but I think I get it. We wonder where the disappearing guy Durham is, as Jerry Colona wondered where Yehudi Menuhin was after early guest appearances on Bob Hope shows.

Guitar work on that video was interesting, a little like Django Reinhardt influenced him. “Swing.” Orchestral chords on a hollow body that later could be a prototype for an electric Wes Montgomery style.

But in the fifties that sort of faded as early rock had a lot of strumming. Keith Richards wrote in Life “I am a proud failure at lead guitar like the great Chuck Berry.” But like Pete Townshend, that was the style then. Followed by the Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin era.
