Henry's Dewar's Ad

Richard Rand, a Chicago advertising-agency man who played banjo and reviewed the Art Ensemble for Down Beat, made that ad. All Threadgill got for it was some whiskey.

But he was in Esquire!

I miss Rich Rand.

All Threadgill got for it was some whiskey.

No shit. Damn!

I'm curious as to how many of Esquire's readers knew who he was when this add came out.

[JSngry]

Not as many as did after...but by how many more is questionable.

Still, a sign of the times that somebody even thought it was a good idea and then made it happen!
