They included all the members of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court Justices and leaders of Congress, plus a liberal sprinkling of the merely wealthy and famous. But there was also a goodly number of quite ordinary citizens from Texas and Illinois, a particularly fitting assortment for the marriage of the President's daughter to a nonEstablishment young...

His own father had played the cornet, and Earl adapted its lusty, brassy quality to the keyboard, learned to chop out big, gaudy chords in order to be heard through a blaring orchestra. The technique was further refined when he teamed with Louis Armstrong in 1928 for a memorable series of recordings.
