Ed Kirkeby (Oct.10,1891 – June 12,1978) band leader, vocalist, manager, and salesman, is best remembered as the manager of Fats Waller. He was one of the first recording managers at Columbia Records to record jazz and organized the California Ramblers to record it.

He used several pseudonyms for recording including Ted Wallace, Ed Kirkeby Wallace, and Eddie Lloyd.

Over the years he also managed the Pickens Sisters, was an A&R person at RCA Victor, and worked in the band booking department at NBC. As Fats Waller’s manager he also acted as his archivist building a collection which is held today by the Institute of Jazz Studies.

After Waller’s death in 1943 Kirkeby remained active managing many other groups and musicians through 1977.

These assaults on free speech aren’t being covered in the mainstream media, and that’s why Leader McConnell felt it was time to send a clear message to Democrats and Republicans alike:

“The First Amendment is something about which there can be no compromise.”

If you missed Friday’s speech, you can watch it now on TeamMitch.com

Over the next few weeks, Leader McConnell will be doing all he can to spread the word about the Obama administration’s blatant abuse of power. We cannot sit idly by while the President and his allies use their power to bully political opponents.

You can join the fight for free speech by forwarding this email to your friends, and joining Team Mitch on Facebook andTwitter.

–Team Mitch
