		Tommy Benford was hitting venues abroad with such a group as early as 1914.
		Soon thereafter, Benford began drumming with the Marie Lucas Orchestra, and was based out of Washington, D.C. The capitol city was a hotbed of new jazz developments in the '20s, and the drummer began playing with Elmer Snowden, Charlie Skeet, Jelly Roll Morton, Edgar Hayes, and the orchestra of Bill Benford.
		Students of drumming often listen in wonder to the manner in which Benford accents the second and fourth beats of a measure on recordings with Morton from the late '20s, no doubt wishing that a bit of Benford's gold could be deposited in their own playing style.

	Feature: Mark Erelli
		There was nothing high-brow or cutting edge about the Excaliburs -they played loud, jumpy Dixieland jazz the tourists could get hopped-up to -but they were all excellent musicians, and it was an integrated band, which was unusual for the time.
		Their shows grew to include a little melodrama wherein the owner of the Southward would pretend to shoot (the leader of the band) Leroy, at which point two of the bartenders would bring in a wicker casket on a wheel barrow, put Leroy in, and wheel him out.
		Gradually, the rest of the band would depart from the bandstand, leaving only the drummer, Tommy Benford, who would go in to a one hour version of “Caravan”.
