[Portrait of Bill Harris, William P. Gottlieb's home (table tennis room), N.Y., ca. Apr. 1947]

 


  • For two consecutive years Bill Harris has been selected as the No. 1 trombone player of the country in the annual Down Beat poll. He posed twice for the current cover, once to permit staff lensman Bill Gottlieb to shoot the bell of his horn for a background, then unsmilingly for the photo itself. Bill may go to Milwaukee next month with the Charlie Ventura unit to open at the Continental club there on May 5

This morning I planted four tabasco plants in pots and three banana peppers. I am going to pickle some and dry some of the tabascos, then you can grind them for red pepper flakes.
