I'd love to think that SLIM GAILLARD plays at my local but, sadly, he's fully booked at the great niteclub in the sky.
Oscar, you will remember that he spent a year or two of his latter days in London. He seemed to have accomodation above the Hare Krishna place around the corner from Soho Square and would appear - smile for the public - and glide down Oxford Street in white beret and astrakhan coat. The tallest man that ever grooved.
When I saw his show he had the same blonde Gibson that T-BONE favoured. On T - who was jockey-size- it looked like a cello, but SLIM cuddled it like a ukelele.

Yes...I used to see him around Soho...You must have seen the two parts documentary the BBC made about him...There is a magnificent moment when the Mayor of Laguna, in California gives him the keys of the town and he forces the Lagunians to remove their shoes , get into the surf and sing along: "Laguna...Oorooni....Laguna ...Oreeni!!"
Marvellous...And pretending to speak Spanish and starting a big speech saying NOTHING but sounds vaguely reminiscent of the spanish language...Genius!
Have you heard his recording with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie?

I remember the programmes...But in a fog.
What I do remember clearly about SLIM was that he looked on the world - and treated us - as his friends.

A mí, simplemente me gusta mucho el pelado que fuma... se parece a Sarmiento.
