I thought oh, so I'm damaged goods now. I should fly half way around the world and find a 19 year old province girl. I'll think about it.
I probably should but Las Vegas is a perfectly good place to die.

Sorry my fault for going down the wrong Rabbit Hole with Ringo and Bernard Purdie. Either way my poi t was the drummer brings the Feel to the track vs a Drum Machine which does not interact with the other players,

So Rudy was playing tenor, and also doing some vocals on things like "Hello Dolly". One time he was singing it on a gig, and I watched him slowly turn around and watch something flying through the air. It turned out to be that trumpet player I mentioned before, being picked up and thrown across the room by the huge 1st trumpet player, who was bugged at him for laying out on some section parts to save up his chops for a solo!
Rudy just kept on singing as if nothing happened!
Rudy was doing a day gig as a welder, so his chops were not as happening as they could've been, but he had a great feeling for the blues.
He seemed to know a lot of heavy players, and he got Leonard Gaskin on the band, and the two of them would be telling jokes to each other, sometimes laying out in the middle of a tune, when everyone else was playing.
Rudy got me involved in a recording session for Al Jabaz Williams, a wild piano player, who had written a jazz biblical thing for big band and choir. I don't know if it ever came out. Rudy said Jabaz had been involved in Motown, and lived in a huge house in Old Westbury.
Rudy also got me on a great small group gig that he led, with the great drummer/singer Charles 'Honeyboy' Otis, who was probably the greatest Blues/R&B singer I've ever worked with. He did a version of "This Masquerade" that was 100x better than Benson's version.
Charles dug the way I played, and told me to come down to the gig he was doing at Tramps with Big Joe Turner, because they were looking for a guitarist. I tried to get out of my steady gig, but the head of the office threatened to fire me if I didn't make his gig, so I had to pass on it.
Rudy mentioned in passing once that he was Mingus' cousin, and I looked it up years later in books on Mingus, and they said Charles used to room with Rudy when he was in NYC. Rudy even played on one of Mingus' albums.
I lost touch with Rudy and was very saddened to learn that he had passed from cancer. RIP, Rudy.
