"We have been on the road since last February and have had only one five-day vacation," she said.
But when does a musician in the band see his wife?

Saturday night thousands of students listened and danced to the music of the Dorsey band, under the direction of Covington. The 17-piece band played everything from calypso to a form of rock and roll.
Much of the time students crowded around the bandstand to see the famous group. Eight of the 17 were members of the original Dorsey group.
Covington was chosen by the Dorsey estate to lead the band.
"Warren has been playing the trombone since he was a young boy." Mrs. Covington said. "He has been a professional since his 18th birthday."
