March marked the deaths of two notable people. Jazz clarinetist Tony Scott, who played with Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker, and Larry Bud Melman of David Letterman fame. Scott apparently lived in Rome for quite a while and was big in the Italian jazz scene. Hmmm... I never thought Italy had a jazz scene. I'd never heard of Scott before, but he played with some real jazz greats back in the day. I'll have to listen real close next time I put on a Billie Holiday album. He'll most likely be buried in Italy, so no Death2urs to that one. Sorry.
I think just about everyone knows Larry Bud Melman and his microphone schtik. He was pretty good at making everyone laugh at him and not with him. He will be missed. Larry, this 'Bud' is for you. No word on where he will be laid to rest.
