Show EDWARD G. LUEDERS February 1, 2000 at Lyon and Healy in downtown Chicago where they bought it. And I didn t like the saxophone, particularly. It was my unfavorite instrument of all the ones that I fooled around with. But I went for two of the three lessons. They were taught by a very indifferent young man who almost soured me on the whole musical scene for a while!

As you got through high school, did you have plans to go on? Let's see, you would have graduated in about '41? EDW: 1940. February, mid-year class. WIN: '40. Seventeen. Did you have career plans at that time, did you ... 12 |
