 Bolden and Bunk
Trumpeter Willie Hightower said he and Bunk lived in the same neighborhood in their youth-- and that he remembered Bolden coming by Johnson's house while young Bunk was still in knee-pants, and sometimes taking Johnson with him to jobs, over the objections of Johnson's mother.
While the last word on Bunk Johnson's exact date of birth is yet to be written, carefull researcher Dr. Lawrence Gushee has uncovered very good circumstantial evidence pointing to Johnson being a good bit younger than his claimed 1879 birthdate-- he suggests by a whole decade.
Early jazz writer Fred Ramsey said he found Bunk Johnson's name on a police blotter as being arrested during a raid on a dance hall where Bolden played [2], though later researchers have not succeeded in relocating this record.
