John Gable Is One Of Few

Gable intersperses his solos on Q

sprightly dance compositions. He has
made q great hit with the Glen Echo
dancers. who not only keep In the
best OF step because Of his excellent
drumming. but are also kept In .
constant uproar Of laughter and mer-
riment by the peculiar noises he
makes with his musical instruments.
Gable admits that he does not know
exactly how many instruments he
can make music with. but on almost
every night he uses at least seven
teen. He plays the bass drum, kettle
drum, snare drum, and other kinds OF
drums with both eyes shut and both
hands behind his back. He woos en-
trancing music from silver bells. and
even his shaking OF cowbells dis
plays an abundance Of talent. Tho
triangle. cymbals, tuned whistle. min
strel boEes, and many kinds Of horns
are easy fruit for him.
There 10 only one thing he does
better than play the squzees, and
that II playing the squeegums. while

by musicians to be classics. The rag
