And before his education was done, he had also played with Jack Teagarden and Maynard Ferguson. Then for 38 years he was a dentist and anesthesiologist in Hempstead, on Long Island. He produced two books, Amnesia-Analgesia, Techniques in Dentistry, and Pain and Anxiety Control in Dentistry, neither of which is as much fun as, say, Stomping at the Savoy...

Similarly, cataract surgery at the center costs $700, compared with $1,700 charged at nearby Methodist Hospital of Southern California.
