Harry Kingston said...: Bubba Voss, told me about being in the band with Ramon and what a great musician he was.
Many years later I got to meet him on Sells and Gray.
Ramon played the trumpet along with a record player as that was there band on Sells and Gray.
But it was live music for the performance.
It was my pleasure to meet him down the saw dust trail.

We were set up in the infield of the Rubber Bowl. You can see the bleacher area behind the band.
The mouth piece mentioned was a parbolic mouth piece and Ramon used it all of the years that I knew him.; 18 February, 2009 09:18
