The first question was about how her job with Goodman came about. BBJ: Did you j oin the Goodman band directly from singing in clubs? The cheerful Lee PL: Yes, I was singing in a club at that time I met him. Before that I had been singing on a radio The Background station in Fargo, North Dakota.

Quite by accident we were on the mailing list advertising Krupa drum­ sticks and Krupa publications. It is from the “World of Gene Krupa” book we’ve excerpted the following Gene Krupa comments, presented in interview style. BBJ host Don Kennedy interviewed Gene Krupa in 1949 or early 1950 when Krupa was appearing at the Palace Theater in Youngstown, Ohio. The interview was set up for one o’clock in the morning, after the last of the six or seven daily ‘live’ performances between showings of the feature movie. That taped interview has long since been lost, but one distinct memory The young Krupa at work remains: the extremely courteous behavior of Gene came from the Buddy Rogers band. I knew Stan in the Krupa. Kennedy recalls the event. old days when I worked for Red Nichols. THE place then was Plunkett’s (a speakeasy on 53rd Street) and “I was nineteen or twenty and my dad went with me for Stan was a very big name then and much respected by company. While I was setting up that bulky early tape me, not so much for his talent, because I was going the recorder, Gene Krupa talked to my 66 year old dad, a other way for guys like Chick Webb and Tommy Miles.
