LOUIE PRIMA & KEELY SMITH'S GREAT SAX PLAYER WAS SAM BUTERA FROM NEW ORLEANS. HE WAS A FREQUENT PERFORMER AT THE CASINOS ON THE GULF COAST FOR MANY YEARS. HIS BAND WAS BILLED AS "THE WILDEST". HE ALWAYS ENDED THE SHOW WITH "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN" AND THE BAND WOULD WALK THRU THE AUDIDENCE SHAKING HANDS WILL EVERYONE WHILE PLAYING.
