[zubzub]

You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may You've got your reservations made, but you just can't get away
Next year for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around But how far can you travel when you're six feet underground?

Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette She's left you and she's now become somebody else's pet
Lay down that gun, don't try, my friend, to reach the great beyond You'll have more fun by reaching for a redhead or a blonde

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink

The years go by, as quickly as a wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

[EmpireMaker]

I'll give you 150 if it's herbert hoover. if it's not, you pay me.

I think hhsilver would know where he got the picture from, don't you?

[zubzub]

crap I tried to size down the too big Lombardo above. Guess this forum poster don't take to resizing by dragging the image sides inwards....lesson learned, BIG ass picture. Sorry.

Was my Glenn Miller guess I think anyway he mean when he said the cat was in a youtube with a prior named dude.....

so it'd have been a bad bad beat if I'd have not gotten it.

[zubzub]

zubzub your all confused thats a song by The Specials

A guess that he was anyone of The Specials would have been a better guess than Herbert fuggin Hoover. Specially after you got the 'music' clue.

Herbert Hoover made no music.

I think there might have been a chick in the Specials.....though coulda been someother Ska-ass nightmare band.

[smitch124]

I don't know, Guy has some big ass ears, just sayin...

[zubzub]

Most humans had larger ears in the earlier part of the 20th century, and before. Evolution...ears began to shrink with the coming of the Beat Generation. Kerouac, Ginsberg, Cassady....last guys to have really big ears.

[hhsilver]

sorry, it's not guy lombardo. And it's not herbert hoover -- music? hoover?.

Artie Shaw

[zubzub]

Shocker really, looks totally like Guy Lombardo.

awrite then though, its still gotta be a Lombardo. How about Victor?

If not him then Carmen or LeBert (French for "The Bert", Lombardo parents ran outta names early really):

Its Victor. top row all the way to the right.


Victor Lombardo.

[L2Gunz]

Nice Job

[BadNina]

Jack Teagarden. Pay the line.

I'll take side wagers this is correct as well.

Nice find!

[zubzub]

Good Job.

My last guess, Prima, was born in NOLA and Teagarden passed away in NOLA.....Prince Conti Hotel, I used to walk past it frequently when I lived in The Quarter....as did many other people.

Not so odd really, New Orleans involved, with Jazz music being what these guys did...

good catch on Teagarden.

[hhsilver]

Jack Teagarden. Pay the line.

I'll take side wagers this is correct as well.

YES!!!!

He is my favorite, among many other co-favorite or near-favorite jazzers.

here are a couple vids : hope some of you will take a break from all the gambling and such and enjoy.


www.youtube.com/watch?v=elx_7jFt-F0 .... this is an amazing display of his talent. If you're familiar with the song, "Lover", you'll enjoy it more as you realize what he is doing with a simple tune without straying too far from the basic melody.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkM9fSyqAGI ..... this is a nice tribute with excerpts from some of his stuff


and finally, for Nina ....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVObfmOSNGg

I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't think it would take so long. Thanks for all the efforts . Many of the stabs were very entertaining.

[yisman]

you fail at reading comprehension again, stiff.

You offered to bet and I accepted.

[Dad]

YES!!!!

That music reminds me so much of New Orleans hhsilver. If you've not been or don't live there already you need to do one or the other at some point in your life since you enjoy this music. I like the Blues sound to some of Tegarden's work, heard in that tribute vid, he sure had a sweet deeply heartfelt sound and style.

Jazz is a theme to Bourbon Street, pours out the clubs and especially the one that was on the corner of Bourbon and St. Peter Street...I lived on St. Peter Street. From my front door: One direction was Rampart Street and the projects (now decimated as result of Katrina I believe) the other direction was Bourbon Street.

There was always only one direction really worth heading.

He looks like a composer who was firmly planted inside the homosexual closet. A ladies man he was not.

I should at least get 5 pts for this.
