He was an active sideman, e.g. with the Mound City Blue Blowers on "Hello
Lola" and if memory serves, was in sections which included T.

Glenn
Miller was older and had been around as long or longer than Benny Goodman,
Jack Teagarden or even Bunny Berigan, but all of them got their names on the
label of some studio sides they made long before Miller; BG in the 1920s,
Jack in
1930 and even relative latecomer Berigan in 1933.  As a contractor known to
all the producers, Miller surely had the contacts, and he had his sights set
on leadership since he was in college, so why did it take him until 1935 to
get his name on the label? Coincidences, or some plan of delayed
gratification, or waiting until he felt the time was right??  Did he tell
George T Simon?  Anybody know?
