[HAM] R.I.P. Buddy Miles

[goffmac747 at aol.com]

nhoJ,

I found out from another friend who knew Buddy that Paul B. Allen owned 
a jazz club at 24th and Lake, in Omaha, called Allen's Showcase. All 
the top jazz acts in the '50's and '60's played there .Buddy's Dad, 
George Miles Sr., used to play upright bass for Duke Ellington, Count 
Basie, Charlie Parker.

According to what I've found out  and what I surmised myself, was Paul
B. Allen was the singer in the Platters and the Coasters. Allen was
born in Omaha.


I'm still trying to reconfirm this with others who knew Buddy..

I was never a big fan but I thought he was great for the Band of
Gypsies and

he had a killer rock shuffle.  And yes, he gave us another tune to wear
out

on pick-up gigs!  AND - Molly Hatchet owes HIM for their version of the

Allman's "Dreams".


There's also a great instrumental organ trio track on the Them Changes

record with Andre Lewis on the Hammond.  "Paul B. Allen: Omaha
Nebraska".

Maybe one of you can tell me what/who that's referencing.
