GHWBush Big Band
My friend found this picture on the wall of a restaurant in Thailand. The caption reads "The King of Thailand (far left) with
Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman. George Bush is on the right." |

Kinda cool. G. H. W. Bush was no G. W. Bush, when you look at his resume.

It's Bangkok in 1956 but I can't find a name for the trombonist. I don't think its Bill Harris.

The guy in your pic looks like it could be an older version of the tromboner (thanks, Bruce!) in my pic, when was it taken? Wikipedia says Goodman teamed up with Armstrong in 1953, and a PBS-JAZZ (the KenBurns film) site says he (Goodman) was touring "under the auspices of the US Department of State, the Far East (1956-7)" so, Griff, you could be right! The question is how did 41 get in the pic? It looks like he might be on a drum kit. Last edited by beauregaardhooligan; 06-05-2007 at 11:38 PM. Reason: typo |

Was 41 working for the State Dept then? Could have been the chaperon, if he was. Maybe a groupie too.

Thanks, Griff!
I'm going to go with Bill Harris. You know, god only made so many perfect heads, and the rest he covered with hair! So GHWB played the skins? Is that not a ShitEatingGrin? Supposedly that's when he was with the CIA. Last edited by beauregaardhooligan; 06-05-2007 at 11:37 PM. Reason: BTW, I have a much larger .tiff of this if anyone wants a copy. |
