...business manager since 1969; both for the second time; in Algiers, La., less than an hour after Hirt's previous marriage of 33 years ended in divorce. Hirt is almost as famous for his heft (over 250 lbs. at the last weigh-in) as for his high-volume horn. His hits include such brassy tunes as Java, Cotton Candy and Fly Me to the Moon, which was piped into outer space in 1965 to help the Gemini 7 astronauts relax...
Today from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. you can perform on your flute, clarinet, oboe, english or french horn, bassoon, tenoroon or other wind-related instrument for representatives of the Harvard Marching, Concert and Jazz Bands. Chances are if you can simultaneously walk and produce tones in most of the standard pitches you will be accepted into one or more of these organizations. As you probably know, bands are like regular orchestras except they have masses of clarinets sitting in the violin section, bassoons for cellos, and so on. Percussionists also welcome. Also...

"Shoot the works," said Finley. Risner hit a button, and downtown Chicago echoed to the Caddie's musical horn. "Now the siren," demanded Finley. A muted wail sent other cars skittering for the curb. Finley switched on a loudspeaker hidden beneath the hood and began broadcasting a stream of chatter to startled pedestrians. "Hey, Howard!" he exulted. "Now we're really going. Hit that horn again...
Eddle "Lockjaw" Davis. Davis was born to play the tenor sax, it seems. Eight months after he bought his first horn, he was playing in Monroe's Uptown House in Hariem where the greatest jazz musicians of the time would match one another in all-night "cutting" sessions. Davis withdrew from the music scene in the early sixties, but he came back after a year to become a soloist and road manager for the Count Basic Band. Now on his own, he puts down a blues-based, funky sound that has charged listeners for three decades. At Sandy's Jazz...
