I know this but will give others a chance for a couple of days

**OLDUDE** · Jul-17-2010, 19:32

I believe it was "Wild" Bill Davison

**hardbop grandpop** · Jul-18-2010, 02:50

hi john, wild bill davison is right. your question is next. gord

**OLDUDE** · Jul-18-2010, 21:04

what musical instrument is otherwise known as a "licorace stick" and from what souce did its true name originate?

**teddy** · Jul-19-2010, 12:00

I always believed that was the clarinit but I do not know the origin

Is the name somehow derived from Clarion, maybe like clarionette = a small clarion? Could be a sort of anglicised version knowing how over the years a word of French origin can get corrupted. (Not as bad as what them yanks do to the Queens English though

)

Teddy right with clarinet

mike - not far off (it is derived from the italian word clarino for a type of trumpet which apparently early clarinets sounded like)

you next teddy ?

Born 1984 daughter of a preacher man. Started out by busking. Went on to sing with Armstrong. Her first film appearance was in 1929

**Dorsetmike** · Jul-19-2010, 23:16

Teddy should that be 1894, otherwise a bit difficult to appear in a film 55 years before you're born.

**teddy** · Jul-20-2010, 12:55

Good job you are here Mike. Yes of course, 1894. Another of my famous typos.

**hardbop grandpop** · Jul-26-2010, 22:58
