Hamiet Bluiett
notes from orchiddoctor:
We were surprised to see Hamiet Bluiett in for an absent Roscoe. He'd played with them before--at the kitchen. Note the number of actual "songs" performed and the repetitions--no doubt rehearsed with Bluiett to make his life easier! Hamiet fit in just fine. The shows were packed, and we were treated to some unique qualities due to Hamiet's influence. He wasn't afraid to play.
