Event Buddy's 60 year career in Jazz made him an obvious choice for emcee during the Dukes of Dixieland and Duke Ellington Orchestra's show out on the Mall between the Capitol and the Washington Monument. These are from Buddy's biggest fan, his wife, Joyce. It was so well received that another tour is being planned for November.
Buddy meets with a clarinetist fan from Japan.
Sakaibara Masamitsu, a young clarinetist came from Japan to hear Buddy play at the new Jazz Corner Club at Hilton Head Island and exchange ideas about the clarinet. Photos by Brian Faber. Used by permission. There is one picture of Buddy and Louis Bellson listening to another group. The black white photos were taken at Atlanta's Colony Square Hotel later the same year, or perhaps sometime in 1987.
