Hey i love your music
Was going to put this in the text, but instead decided per the Wiki "Cite Sources" guidance to cut it and put this here.
Pan American World Airways's president Juan Trippe was a member of his band in 1940. ??? Can any Dorsey or Trippe expert verify this? It seems to be a mixing of a Frank Sinatra date (joining Dorsey) that appears in a sidebar on a Juan Trippe page [1] ... please fix or remove this comment, note this factoid does NOT appear on the Juan Trippe page ... ???
Will email AnonionMartin who I think added it to see if he has a better cite for this factoid.
Just noticed that the equivalent factoid had been removed months ago on the Juan Trippe page...

It's not that hard for a seasoned player to pull off.
[edit] New material
The new book out last year on Dorsey provides some good factual matrerial to update this page. I believe that he had more than one wife, contrary to what is in the text. Talk to Dr. M 20:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spouses
Herb Sanford's biography, The Dorsey Years, states that his first wife was named Mildred but always was called "Toots". In 1943 he married B-movie actress Patricia Dane and divorced her in early 1947. So Jane New Dorsey was correctly identified as his third wife.
[edit] Vandalism
Someone posted the lyrics to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," on the main page. I guess that someone has nothing better to do with their free time. I decided to correct the problem by restoring the most recent edition of T.D.'s page. USRoute66 17:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
