[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

was that like a malfunction or something and he couldnt get out? thats bizzare, but thats what it says in his bio all over the internet...

[king ubu]

maybe he was trying to sound like Hank Mobley and that's what happens when you do so...

I believe it was some kind of accident.

It happened in a motel shower. Apparently the cold water failed and before Buddy could get out of the tub he was badly scalded.

But what about the time a scorpion crawled up Vido Musso's ass?

[AllenLowe]

Vido never said.

There's the story of Flip Phillips joining Woody Herman's band... Woody says "Flip Phillips? But you're Italian...say something in Italian". Flip says "Vito Musso".

did it crawl back out again?

Vido never said.

From what I understand, it was extracted by June Christy and Eddie Safranski, and is now housed in the Phil Schaap collection.
