  • Looking for any info on my dad, trumpeter and vocalist with Stan Kenton in 1947....his name Jimmy "RED" Borland.

  • Sorry, can't help you there. And although Pete is in good health, his memory has faded (Pete is 94 and 1947 is quite distant). Thanks.

  • Thanks Is there any way for you to ask Pete DIRECTLY if he remembered Jimmy Borland who sang with Kenton's Pastels? 1947 is long ago, but maybe it would spark a memory if you were to ask him. Please forgive my insistence,..2 reasons- I work with the elderly & many times amazed at what can surface when that distant spark is activated. Also It means the world to me because I never knew my dad and I feel a great loss. Having Pete even remember his NAME would mean so much to me...please.

  • When I see Pete (don't know when), I'll ask him about Jimmy Borland. Can't guarantee anything, though; but I'll try my best.
