Chris, I have very few, actually. Here is the big band in 1948. It was
called Red Terry's Collegians. Red is the guy with the upright bass.
I'm the fourth from the right in the front row. This was a Zeta Tau
Alpha sorority dance, in the main college cafeteria. I was eighteen at
the time. Some of the guys were WWII vets, going to school on the GI
Bill of Rights.
This was scanned from a glossy 8x10 print, and is not high quality.

Thanks, Jim.
I think that we, your List friends, deserve a look at some photos from that
time . . .

I was never a star performer, but worked frequently as a "side man". I worked
many Saturday nights with a 7-piece band in a night club, and also worked with a 15-piece
college band, playing for fraternity dances. These gigs paid enough to keep me in food
money and covered minor expenses.
