What is this... Jeopardy Jazz Hour.. I can tell you where Charlie Parker played his first professional gig... (which was on tenor saxophone)
No, I was the fireman. They wouldn't let me work the throttle.martysax said:Is it true that you were the engineer?

Nope, I just worked the shovel, and jumped when told...martysax said:So you're not Choo Choo Charlie?

Sounds like somebody's "high on cocaine". I'm not a doper,but driving a locomotive whilst coked up would be would be would be pretty fun,I betcha.

You kind-of remind me of Jerry. Could you grow your hair out and put on shades? You can keep the finger.hakukani said:Okay, I need a little history lesson here obviously...

There were 'cheap' recording options back in the early forties. They cut this version of Cherokee on a paper disk, as opposed to wax.
As to the year 41 or 42, I can't really see why that is important, unless you're doing a research paper.

This just in. A new discography has earlier recordings. The paper disk is the first recording of Cherokee. My bad.
So the first recording of Charlie Parker is unaccompanied. Ain't the innernet wonderful?

The rhythm guitar/harp player in my band is missing the same finger as Jerry. He's not dead, though (yet).martysax said:You kind-of remind me of Jerry. Could you grow your hair out and put on shades? You can keep the finger.
Also, my hair is pulled back in a pony tail, so it's already long.
