kbobam Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 It hasn't made me a lot of friends, but I really hate 'music videos'. But put some great musical performances in a biographical movie and then you've got something. Currently grooving on 'The Gene Krupa Story'. I love old black and white movies. An offer you just can't refuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Gene Krupa? Sounds like someone I should know about. Pride myself in knowing more about old black and white culture than modern pop culture .... but I have gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 One of the drummers from the Jazz/Big-Band era, if you want to call it that. So you'd need to be 'into' that for his name to be a household word. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm not into that myself, but I know Gene Krupa's name because my parents were big-band people. Lots of Glenn Miller got played in our house too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Uncle Bud (Moms brother) was a big band manager back in the day. Krupka and Miller were both acquaintances according to Pops. He also mentioned knocking Uncle Bud out when he said some inappropriate things to my sister when she was a youngster(LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
