An Abbreviated Article, Part 1
An Abbreviated Article The title of this article might indicate to the reader that this may be a shortened offering from yours truly, but instead it is on the topic of abbreviations commonly used in the Crescent City, or as some might say: NOLA. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or longer phrases found in almost every field or discipline of our daily lives, from commonly used abbreviations in names or titles, such as Mr., as in Mr. Bingle, or Dr., as in Dr. John., to quite commonly used local abbreviations, such as MB for Maison Blanche, and KB or K&B for Katz and Besthoff. They are commonplace in the use of weights and measures, distances, medicine, cooking and baking. And if you need directions, it’s best you know location abbreviations such as Blvd. and Ave. That’s where New Orleans’ neutral grounds are usually located. These ads ran side by side in the New Orleans Item, September 21, 1938. On the same page was an ad for the L & L Shop at 622 Canal. Many abbreviations have been used for so many years in New Orleans that we have forgotten what the original letters stood for. For example, there’s P&J’s Oysters, key supplier of oysters to restaurants locally as well as nationally. John Popich was the “P” and Joe Jurisich was the “J”, but Alfred Sunseri, a cousin of Joe Jurisich, was the driving force, and all these many years later, P&J’s is still run by the Sunseri family. And the A&G Cafeterias, just like K&B and MB, “ain’t dere no more”.

The Man Who Invented Jazz? C O on the Surface, It May Seem a Stretch; on Closer Inspection, It’S an Entirely Appropriate Honor
EARLY NFL B B N C E JELLY ROLL MORTON IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? The man who invented jazz? C o On the surface, it may seem a stretch; on closer inspection, it’s an entirely appropriate honor. A music that has always borrowed liberally from other streams in its ongoing evolu tion would and should embrace as one of its own an artist imbued with the sensibility that bespeaks great art in general, rock & roll in specific: a zeal for adventure, disdain of the status quo, an innate drive to push the boundaries of convention until the artist breaks on through to the other side with something so new and brazen it’s virtually indefinable -I but talismanic to all the daring souls courageous enough to follow the same path. C o Remember that in the late 1920s, when Louis Armstrong was cutting his monumental sessions with his Hot Five and Hot Seven ensembles, Morton was charging ahead with his equally formidable Red Hot Peppers recordings. Ceding nothing to Satchmo, Morton made sure everyone knew of his achievements and even wrote a song about himself, called “Mr. Jelly Lord,” that pretty much said it all. He was styling at every turn, surrounding himself with Leader of the Band: beautiful women, dazzling the commonfolk with ° conducts his Red Hot his expensive, tailored suits and sporting a million- Peppers, circa 1928 dollar smile that revealed a diamond embedded in one tooth. C o But attitude will get you only so far. Jelly Roll backed up his braggadocio with a body of work that reveals him to be an extraordinary, even visionary, composer, bandleader, arranger and musician.

Chris Reynolds: This Is an Interview with Charlie Harmony on Thursday
Charlie Harmony Memoir Springfield, Illinois October 9, 2006 Chris Reynolds: This is an interview with Charlie Harmony on Thursday. November the 9th, 2006 at Dean Williams Studio in Springfield, Illinois which oddly enough is on Harmony Court. We’re working on an oral history on the Harmony Brother’s musical career. My name is Chris Reynolds; the taping is being done by Dean Williams, and let’s just go ahead and get started here. Charlie, I want to do this in time frames, so the first time frame I want to work on is the pre-1956, before the band got started. But I want to start out with a question that I really failed to ask Ben which was can we talk a little bit about your family? How many brothers and sisters you had and what your mom and dad did and those kinds of things ? Charlie Harmony: Sure, there were eight of us in the family, four boys and four girls. My dad was a coal miner; my mom was a housewife, as was the case in those days. Of course she had eight kids to raise so she had quite a job. They were all like Ben and I, wild and crazy so she really had her work cut out for her. Chris: And you lived in Springfield at that same home over there? Where, near Ben is now? Charlie: Right in front of where Ben’s house was, the house in front of it is the family home. Chris: And the whole time you lived there, so that goes way back? Charlie: Yes, the house was built in 1940, the year that I was born, I was the first child to live in that house, prior to that, behind the house there was a little two room shack and that is where all of my family and the other six kids were born, Ben was born there, I was the only one born in a hospital.
