With 7ireIess and Model Blond

dubbed it the Fuzzy Beach A few
cadenzas yesterday we're enough to
convince observers in The Star news
room that the dance was somewhat
on the DerVlSh side.
Then, Fuzzy claims, he discovered
the modern American woman was
nowhere near athletic enough for
the Fuzzy Peach This made him
frantic Finally, after futile search
ing high and low for a dancing
partner with stamina enough, he
constructed his own partner
Now he spends most of his time
visiting dance halls and night clubs
all over the Nation and dancing
always with Peaches" When he's
not dancing Fuzzy is usually WhiS-
tling.
He has WhiStled with Gene Krupa,
Glen Gray. Dick Jergens and several
ether bands Of note. His whistling
is birdlike, although he has to tone
it down in crowds. It's that loud.
Fuzzy characterizes himself as a
modern philosopher, who modern
izing Socrates, is looking for an
honest woman.
The woman doesn't even, have to
be honest, if she could only do the
Fuzzy Peach without getting tired
or without trying to change it."
