Happy New Year all.

What was happening musically in 1911?

Though they seem to have missed Sibelius' 4th.

Very nice, Bev.

Among the 1911 Births:

January 20 - Roy Eldridge, jazz musician (d. 1989)

May 8 - Robert Johnson, blues guitarist and singer (d. 1938)

May 18 - Big Joe Turner, blues shouter (d. 1985)

August 6 - Lucille Ball, actress and singer (d. 1989)

October 24 - Sonny Terry, blues musician (d. 1986)

December 14 - Spike Jones, bandleader (d. 1965)

December 15 - Stan Kenton, bandleader (d. 1979)

Happy New Year all!

Happy New Year to all!

It was a strange year. At dinner last night, my wife told me that she knew what the worst aspect of 2010 was for me - my forced retirement from teaching public school band. Then she asked what the best thing about the year was, and without stopping to think I said, "Same thing."
