> Soupie was banned from TV for an ad lib comment: he said " My

> It seems that nobody who watched Soupy Sales recognized his 
> connection to jazz. Since Soupy didn't come to L.A. until 
> 1961, I was totally unaware of his Detroit years, which 
> appeared to be more freewheeling, but it seems that from the 
> comments on the Internet, almost nobody was aware of his jazz 
> connections, including his using "Yardbird Suite" as his 
> theme song for some time. I recall nothing jazz-oriented from 
> his L.A. years, and certainly not the banana joke!
