Because of the discrimination that Goodman encountered at hotels with black musicians in his band, he eventually bought railroad cars for the band to stay in as they traveled from town to town.

What a majestic talent Teddy possessed. His playing was exquisite.
The racial aspect of this period in time still saddens me.
Thank you for posting this informative piece.
