Sep. 3—Ruffy’s a Duke Ellington fan.
The rambunctious pup — a poodle, with out the flowery haircut — stopped what he was doing the opposite day and sidled over to his grasp, Leo Horacek, because the 103-year-old professor emeritus of music made his technique to the piano in his lounge.
When the professor started enjoying, Ruffy—himself about 9—perked up, then settled in for a pay attention.
“Caravan, ” was the tune: the Latin-tinged, huge band, toe-tapper made well-known by Ellington in 1936, when Horacek was a younger man again residence in Kansas earlier than the beginning of World Battle II.
