Band Leader Plays Saxophone
And Clarinet; Features Novelty
Instrumental, Vocal Specialties
"Tramp, Tramp. Tramp, the boys
are-dancing" to the strains of Gray
Gordon and his orchestra, who will
come to Ann Arbor for the Militaryl
Ball to be held from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.,
Friday, April 24, in the Union Ball-
room.
Five years ago, Gordon, his musical
organization, and his "tic toe rhy-
thm" had their beginning in Chicago
at the Century of Progress. Engage-
ments in San Antonio, St. Louis, Den-
ver, Memphis, and, the answer to
every band leader's dream, New York.
followed this start.
Picked As 'Best Band'
In answer to Gordon's renditions
of "Ferryboat Serenade" and "I Am
An American," he was chosen the
"band of the year" by the operators
of the coin-machines, the "poor
man's Capehart." In recognition of
this he was asked to play at the an-
nual convention held by the coin-
machine operators in Chicago--the
town in which he first started.
There was a threat to Gray's fu-
ture musical career when he was fif-
teen, in the form of a strict parent.
At this time, lie was studying the
clarinet and saxophone to express
himself in the "classics," but he had
a different idea. There was a pickup
band in a neighboring town that
played "jazz," and this was where
Gordon's interest lay. But papa ob-
jected, and Gray gave in. However,
after a try with a concert group he
revolted and formed his own outfit
named the "Pretzel Five." From this
point there was just a short step re-,
maining to his engagement in Chii-
cago.
Gordon Is Versatile
Known as a " show" unit, Gordon
combines, with his clarinet and saxo-
phone, novelty, instrumental. and a
vocal specialties. Ted Travers and
Barbara Moffett are featured
Additional entertainment has been
planned for the dance, Ray Gauthier,t
'42E, announced, but it will be keptj
a "military secret" until the night of
the ball.
Tickets may be purchased at the
ROTC headquarters or from com-
mittee members by anyone on cam-
pus. not just members of the ROTC.
