[78-L] Alto sax style omissions

[Taylor Bowie]

Not to mention Hal McIntyre,  and Wilbur Schwartz...but that's why we're 
making the list...to give everybody time to come up with the best names 
possible.

I would also add the little-known Mike Doty,  who played lead with Joe 
Haymes and who,  I think,  plays lead on a lot of Berigan 
records...including the 12" I Can't Get Started...a beautiful sax section 
passage right before Bunny's vocal.

Doty had his own band in Tacoma,  an hour south of Seattle,  around 1929-31. 
His first trumpet was Roy Wager and they both joined Haymes in 1932.
