wolverines

by m karoub

Laura's response as enjoyable as Murray article.-

Frankly way too many amateur psychologists weighing in on musicians, Bix especially.
Murray and Rank were excellent musicians,probably even more than that, always struck me that their most interesting work was on Bix and his gang. sides.

I once asked Duncan Scheidt about subsequent lives and adventure of the Wolverines.
and I remember some things i read over the years...

Al Gandee trb-became a milkman !!died 40s(he was not in the punk rock group 'THe dead Milkmen")

Hartwell took up string bass -asthsma related switch?
Voynow -w/Brunswick later Decca died L. A. early 40s-recorded post wolverines ..
Leibrook-w/arnold Johnson, Whiteman, NY freelance L.A free;ance (as a result on Bix's 1st and last record!) died 1944 survived by Jacqueline Leibrook..
Geo Johnson-mens clothing salesman tv and radio repair-(-see George's article in Frontiers of Jazz)
Bob Gillette --act w/shirley richards 30s song and dance-

gillette Moore and Johnson appeared to have stayed in touch into 30s ..based on Johnson correspondance to Ralph Venables

McPartland /Brunies well documented.
I think a great niece of either Vic Moore or Bob Gillette wrote to this forum--but I dont think there have been Wolverine children at Bix fest like the Goldkette connections.. - the pity is that these guys werent interviewed extensively...
