HARRY FROM TEXAS--Is that Bubba Voss, back center on trombone? I could tell a hundred hilarious Boom-Boom Browning stories,some coming from him, but the best ones about him. What a master he was. When he left the Beatty show, he traveled for years demonstrating for Slingerland Drums, selling drum kits by the score wherever he went.

Roger it probably is as he and Boom were young back them.
Bubba introduced me to Boom and the jackpots started.
Bubba said Boom knew all the folks in New York and got them in many a show free.
Bubba lived right down the road from me and did he like a substantial meal.
When Boom called me years ago and Mom answered the phone she said he scared her but what a wonderful person and was a first class drummer.
Folks like Bubba and Boom are really missed and there stories are too.
Gone but not forgotten.
