Today's Cool Muskegon Fact
A Muskegon native, Pfc. Clarence Zylman, is credited with being the original Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy immortalized in the Andrews Sisters 1941 hit song. Drafted at age 38, Clarence had been performing for 20 years, beginning with radio stations in Chicago and moving on to play with Tommy Tucker's orchestra and several other big bands. He brought his playing style to England where he was a company bugler, eventually being transferred to an army band. According to a wartime article in Stars & Stripes, after his orthodox rendition of first call went unappreciated by fellow soldiers, Zylman shifted to swing technique. The Stars & Stripes article quoted headquarters of European theater operations giving its ringing endorsement because "the boys are tumbling out happily, practically jitter-bugging."
