A pic from my dad's band in August 1952 Phoenix AZ . Last viewed: 6 hours ago

Posts: 611 Threads: 33

My dad just sent this picture of his band he had when he was 16 . Don Baird and the Starlighters was the band and he is the trumpet player . He went on to play with Les Brown and Stan Kenton for a while .The clarinet player Brad Bauder played sax as well and ended up playing sax with quite a few people including another Phoenix guy , the one and only Duane Eddy . I thought it was a cool vintage shot and thought some might dig it . LOVING the Leedy drums too !!!!!!

He does a bit but not often . He still kills it though . He played drums when he was younger and switched to trumpet soon after . He said his set was a used Rogers with tacked heads . He was very supportive of my when I started playing at 7 . He turned me onto Krupa , Buddy Rich , And Shelly Mann before I even started playing .
