1888 - Armand J. Piron was born on this day. A violinist, bandleader, composer and native of New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1912 he took over the leadership of the highly-rated Olympia Orchestra when its former leader Freddie Keppard left town. The band soon included King Oliver and Sidney Bechet. Piron formed a publishing company with Clarence Williams in 1915 and continued leading bands while also working with Oscar "Papa" Celestin. Piron's New Orleans Orchestra lasted until 1928, Armand Piron fronted George Augustin's Moonlight Serenaders into the mid-1930's and he died in poverty (and largely forgotten) in 1943 at age 54.
