That's the way
Bill
Johnson used to play,
him and his three -piece or (G major) ganization.
(E major) Bill
Johnson's a
brother -in (F major) of mine, and an old in mind, very,
very good -looking boy in those days, and my,
how did (C major) the girls take to him and
those bad cars on the bass fiddle?
He really digged
that, I'm telling you.
Was he the one (F major) that the first (E flat major) jazz to
(C major) New
York?
(A minor) Yeah,
Bill
Johnson was the first one to take
the first jazz band into the city of
New
York.
They (C major) played the
Palace
Theater.
Well, I'm a little bit ahead of my story.
Bill wanted to come to
California.
(F major) And in the mean (B flat major) time,
he wrote my wife a letter and she financed the trip.
He had a band.
He composed this band
formerly of some of the
Tuxedo
Orchestra, which was
Freddie
Kephart's old original orchestra,
which was the first combination of what is known now
as the
Dixieland combination.
But of course this band was augmented
a bit from the
Dixieland
combination.
(C major) They had added then the guitar and
the bass fiddle.
Of course
Bill seen the
opportunity so he got into the band and
got the bass fiddle and got the band for himself.
(G major) So (A minor) we financed the trip and came to
Los
Angeles.
On entering
Los
Angeles,
they made such a tremendous success that the
Pantages
Circuit
signed them up immediately.
That was the year of 1913.
And they made the trip throughout
the country of the
Pantages
Circuit, which was the largest
circuit at that time in the world.
and through this trip they came east,
and they came into
Chicago in early 1914. I
happened to be there myself with
a similar combination of what
Freddy
Kephart used to have,
which was considered a
Dixieland, which is
considered now a
Dixieland combination.
They came to
Chicago and turned the town
upside down, caused my trumpet player to quit,
which was considered the best
trumpet player in
Chicago at the time.
His name was
Armstrong, but not
Louis
Armstrong.
It was
John
Armstrong of
Louisville,
Kentucky.
And
John couldn't
play that kind of trumpet,
and I had been teaching him a little bit, and he was a
little stubborn, and when
Freddie played,
he wanted to hit me with a rack.
When I
mean a rack, that is something that's...
