...heralded by reports that he possessed only one speech and no evening clothes, Smith Wildman Brookhart went to the U. S. Senate as a bull-shouldered, thick-skinned representative of Iowa. Both reports proved correct. His speech was an impassioned attack on the Interests, the Railroads, the Wets. His dress at swank Washington parties was a plain sack suit.

Few composers have written exclusively for what jazzmen call "the dog-house." However, Bottesini's Elegie and Friedemann Bach's Largo earned Bull Fiddler Giese a pair of encores...
Colleagues who had played with him for years were amazed at Giese's facility, the way his big hand moved crab-fashion over the keyboard, producing harmonics and arpeggios with seemingly little effort. Most bull fiddlers stand up to their instruments. Waldemar Giese has a specially designed stool with a swivel seat and a foot rest (see cut) which give him support...
