In what sense? I can't imagine, between the playing and the drinking there was much time for hanging out at Party HQ and digesting the latest messages from the Kremlin. Did he have a party card? He was in good company in those days anyway. Maybe he just had an enlarged sense of social justice - something that wouldn't have had to be very pronounced to get him classified as a Red in those days. Pity he died before he would have had the opportunity to decline the date on which Vaughn Monroe recorded 'The Only Red We Want Is the Red We've Got In the Old Red White and Blue' (Priceless bit of trivia - the B side of said disc was 'Cincinnatti Ohio (That's the City for My Dough'. You can't make this stuff up.)

Yes I didn't bother to repeat the fact that the singer was correctly identified as Elmer Feldkamp. Chick has long been the singer we loved to 'hate' - not literally - he was much better than the appalling Irving Kaufman, and the above Elmer, but I'd rather hear Smith Ballew, Dick Roberston or the curiously Shakespearean delivery of Red McKenzie. Chick's main problem was, like Tony Bennett, a complete and utter inability to swing. And the frustration was that he took up a at least a chorus on a date where the band was invariably filled with great jazz men. Still, if there hadn't been Chick, maybe the Berigan sides with Bud Freeman and Forrest Crawford wouldn't have happened....some of the hottest records ever made. N.B. - or warning...if you buy the Mosaic Berigan box, boy will you get a lotta Chick!
