Captioned in lower margin. ARTHUR "SKEETS" HERFURT (1911-1992) was a
jazz sax and clarinet player who performed with the Dorsey Brothers
(together and individually, 1934-1939). He was also heard with the bands of Ray
Noble, Alvino Rey, and - after service in World War II - with Benny Goodman. As
a Hollywood studio musician, he played with Louis Armstrong, Billy May, Stan
Kenton and others, and he was a member of Lawrence Welk's TV Orchestra
(1979-1982). DICK "ICKY" MORGAN, who derived his nickname from one of his
favorite expressions, was an eccentric banjo and guitar player whose act
included a replica python. He performed mostly with Ben Pollack's band, but he
was the inspiration for Glenn Miller's song "When Icky Morgan Plays the
Organ." Corner slightly creased. Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso. Fine
condition.
