Old buddy Jay Cummings, who played with Lionel Hampton, the Glenn Miller band when I was on it 30+ years ago, Woody Herman, and Stan Kenton, has been working for Norwegian Cruise Lines for quite a while now. He was on the Norwegian Gem with Kevin (below) and took the time to join us for lunch in the Canaries last year, when they pulled into the next parking space to the QE2. Jay offered plenty of amusing anecdotes for QE2 drummers Jim Panalver and Trevor Newby.

Jay also played with the Stan Kenton band in 1978, a student of the late, great John Von Ohlen, The Baron. He appears on no recordings except the Lost Concert performed at The Coconut Grove in March of 1978... swinging drummer in the Von Ohlen tradition.
