[78-L] 58 years of Cab, beat that

[Taylor Bowie]

Here in Seattle,  local saxophone legend and beloved character Ronnie Pierce 
is still performing...his first pro gig was in 1943 when he was 15 years 
old.

He made at least a few sides on 78 in 1948 or '49...for the local Morrison 
label as a member of the Frankie Roth Orchestra,  for which my late dad 
played lead alto.
