[78-L] Reuss was Etri was Christian

[eugene hayhoe]

I'd add George Barnes, Leonard Ware, Teddy Bunn...



'Steel' Guitar Rag, of course, was first done by Sylvester Weaver in 1923.

 There's a nice Harry James CD on
 Jasmine called Meadowbrook Memories, two '44 shows.
 Unfortunately the two low points of the CD are Reuss trying
 to play "Steel Guitar Rag," imo. By '44 the field was
 crowded with very good lead electric guitarists such as
 Chuck Wayne, T-Bone Walker, Les Paul, Oscar Moore, Barney
 Kessel, Al Casey, Jimmy Wyble, Remo Palmieri, Teddy Walters,
 and Tiny Grimes.

 There is an aircheck of Reuss featured on electric on LOVE
 DEPARTMENT by the Harry James band in 1944 - normally on
 this arrangement, Reuss had a short solo and James played
 the rest of the solo spots. On this one show, James had
 broken his foot playing baseball and Tommy Dorsey led the
 band, so Reuss got the whole number to himself. It's a good
 one. There's also a Reuss feature on the James' V-Disc of
 STEEL GUITAR RAG. Dave Weiner On 12/17/13 1:35 PM, "Julian
