...small band at the Brass Rail this week. Three of that group are men who began in the Austin High period: bespectacled Joe Sullivan, who learned his piano at the Chicago Conservatory; gaunt, elfin "Pee Wee" Russell, famed for his thin, jetting runs and husky growls on the clarinet; boyish-looking, elliptical-screwball-talking Eddie Condon, who can make his guitar a whole rhythm section...

A shrill-voiced banty, called "little hothead" by his friends, he won the awed admiration of enemy sea fighters as well as his own countrymen by a daring and ingenuity that sank a claimed 235,941 tons of shipping. After his submarine torpedoed H.M.S. Royal Oak inside the heavily mined harbor at Scapa Flow in October 1939, the British Admiralty paid tribute to his "remarkable skill and daring...
