The saxophonist is Big Jay McNeely, who died on Sept. 16th 2018 at the age of 91. He was a crucial part of LA’s postwar R&B explosion and helped lay the foundation for rock and roll.
In May 1953, Ebony magazine reported, “A young white lad got so hepped up over Big Jay’s music that he jumped out of a balcony onto the main floor, where he miraculously landed without hurting himself and went into a riotous dance.”
beautifulmonster asked: I didn’t really have any particular feelings towards Gladstone (I remember bits and pieces of the comics/show but not much and the new show hasn’t done a lot with him) but now I have too many feelings. “One for Sorrow” packed an unexpected punch.

Anonymous asked: Okay I need the story behind that picture. Why is Fethry and Gladstone hugging Donald. Did Fethry start and Gladstone jumped in just to annoy him? Did Donald do something to help them and they are grateful? Is Donald just being his usual depressed self and he needs some love?
tbh I think Grandma is trying to get a nice photograph of her boys all together and Donald was just Refusing to sit anywhere close to Gladstone so Fethry came up with a solution and Gladstone immediately latched onto it (and Don)
