Anyway, kind of amazing imprint on musical history, in Memphis and in the wider world: faculty at Memphis College of Music and Memphis State College (now University of Memphis) where he taught Jim Stewart to fiddle and Mike Leech to arrange, conductor and concertmaster in various symphony orchestras, session musician on "Gee Whiz" and "Shaft" along with many other tunes including the one in the thread title. Member of a huge musical family, into which he delivered a son who was another violinist and a grandson, both violinist and conductor, these last two gentlemen at the New York Philharmonic.
