johnlitweiler Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 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. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 But he was in Esquire! I miss Rich Rand. Quote
JSngry Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 All Threadgill got for it was some whiskey. No shit. Damn! Quote
AndrewHill Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 I'm curious as to how many of Esquire's readers knew who he was when this add came out. Quote
JSngry Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 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! Quote
