Foghorn Finds America

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)

This is Tex Williams from around 1947. He was a big influence on Dan Hicks who I talked about the other day, and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. Commander Cody was really George Frayne and he was from Ann Arbor Michigan, where I lived for a while when I got out of High School. I knew his brother, but George was a lot younger than me. I met George again in 1969 when the Airmen moved to San Francisco. I remember seeing them in like 1970 at the Fillmore with the Doors and Doug Kershaw the fiddler.

Next I'll post a dan hicks or a Cody. Thanks to Ponder Pig for the video tips.
