CHAPTER VI
I picked Bigg up in my car
early in the afternoon, and we
went over to the musicians
union which occupied a ram
bling three-story building. lts
right under the shadow OF tne
sixth Avenue elevated and
within view of Rockefeller City;
Behind it is a parking lot ana
opposite. down the block, is the
Roxy Theater.
Biff was staring at all the
sights with pop-eyes. But ne
could hardly believe what he
saw when we reached the en-
trance of Local 802.
"Whew!" he whistled, Il never
dreamed there could be so many
musicians"
There were at least 300 loung-
ing outside, many of them car
rying fiddleS. guitars, accordlons
and sheet music portfolios.
On the stairs were scores OF
others. In fact, whenever you
turned in union headquarters
you found a musician rubbing
your elbow. There was just
enough space in which to move.
Don't be surprised, Biff," I
explained. There are $4,000
professional musicians in greater
New York"
MEETS "THE WARDEN"
I took Biff right up to Jack
Rosenberg, the warden" Jack
is a plain speaking, sincere man.
He put Biff at his ease right
away. We got Biff an applica-
ton and, while he filled it out, I
posted the $50 fee with Rosen-
berg.
If Biff were turned down after
his examination, the fee would
be refunded. I asked Jack to set
Biff's examination as soon as
possible because the kid was alb
solutely broke.
"Mr. Brown" Jack told him,
while he glanced over the appli-
cation, come in this Thursday
with your clarinet. The commit"
tee will pass on your ability"
Yes, SIR" Biff nodded, awed.
"You understand" Rosenberg
said, that, in order to belong
to the union, you must be a
competent musician. 1t makes
