Boots Randolph died today – 1 year ago

Saxophone player (of Yakety Sax) Homer Louis "Boots" Randolph III was born on June 3, 1927 in Paducah, Kentucky. He said, "'Yakety Sax' will be my trademark. I'll hang my hat on it. It's kept me alive. Every sax player in the world has tried to play it. Some are good, some are awful." [Do you remember it on 8-track tape? If not or if so, you can get it here.]... Mr. Randolph died on July 3, 2007 in Nashville, Tennessee.
