Famous Quad Citizens - Louie Bellson Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

cneumann98: I stopped to check on this one while in town this afternoon. I confirmed it’s missing and since this is its second location since it published, I don’t think moving it another time is wise. It’s time to let this one go - thanks to all who wrote great logs for this one!

Geocache Description:



Louie Bellson (1924-2009) was an American jazz drummer. Born in Rock Falls, IL, as Luigi Paulino Alfredo Francesco Antonio Balassoni, he grew up in Moline and began playing drums at the age of three. He beat 40,000 other drummers to win the National Gene Krupa Contest at 17 years old. Duke Ellington described him as "not only the world's greatest drummer... (but also) the world's greatest musician." He performed on over 200 albums and recorded with Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, and dozens of others.
