G'day Sheba, That's him. I thought you would work it out. Bit different back then than now. 

Who do you have for us?

Cheers.

Just a shame our Indigenous Fighters weren't treated properly both before and after the Wars.

Who is this young man ?

Cheers,

Sheba.

Easy AZ , fellas.

Just a shame our Indigenous Fighters weren't treated properly both before and after the Wars.

Sorry guys.  Having a problem again, and can't delete my last Post.   Some-one else please Post.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Desi Arnaz, husband of Lucille Ball.........

 Off you go BG.  Sorry about the mix-up again.

Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III (March 2, 1917 December 2, 1986), better known as Desi Arnaz, was a Cuban-born American actor, musician, and television producer. He is best remembered for his role as Ricky Ricardo on the American television series sitcom I Love Lucy. He co-starred on that show with dramatic and comedic actress Lucille Ball (19111989), to whom he was married at the time. He and Ball are generally credited as the innovators of the syndicated rerun, which they pioneered with the I Love Lucy series.^[2]

Arnaz and Lucille Ball co-founded and ran the television production company Desilu Productions, originally to market I Love Lucy to television networks. After I Love Lucy ended, Arnaz went on to produce several other television series, at first with Desilu Productions, and later independently, examples of which included The Ann Sothern Show and The Untouchables. He was also renowned for leading his Latin music band, the Desi Arnaz Orchestra.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Thank you Sheba. Here's one for the Baby Boomers !!

That has to be the musician with the same name as me, Ken

Fats Antoine (Tony) Domino

Edit to say I had got his middle name wrong, so corrected spelling

That's him Tony. Over to you:

Fats Domino

Best known for his version of "Blueberry Hill"

Thanks for that Ken

A bit of trivia why he was named fats long before he went extra large
Billy Diamond (his first band leader), nicknamed him "Fats", because Domino reminded him of the renowned pianists Fats Waller and Fats Pichon, but also because of his large appetite

Staying on the theme of musicians, but of the home grown variety
Not sure if this is an easy or hard one, as I only heard about him a few months ago, by word of mouth, from a man who had once met him

Who is the man below standing alongside Slim Dusty, hopefully I have rubbed the last part of his name out

That was an easy one to find Tony.  Shorty Ranger.

That is the man, Sheba
Who do you have for us all

Shorty Ranger
Born Edwin Haberfield, 9 October 1925, Kempsey, New South Wales, Australia, died. 22 June 2007. He grew up on the adjoining farm at Nulla Nulla Creek to that occupied by the family of Slim Dusty. After first meeting at school, they became firm friends with a mutual love of music. Especially attracted to the songs and yodels that they heard on the recordings of artists such as Wilf Carter and Tex Morton, they aimed at a singing career. They learned to play guitar and, performing as a duo, at one time briefly as Buddy Bluebird and Buddy Blackbird, they entertained in their local area. During the 40s, they toured further afield, including Adelaide and Sydney, without lasting success. Although their careers separated in 1951, their friendship continued throughout the years. Shorty gained recognition and a recording contract with Rodeo Records that year, by virtue of his appearance on a national talent show organized by Tim McNamara, and Slim went on to international stardom.

Since 1942, Shorty Ranger wrote over 360 other songs, many of which have been recorded by other artists. 'Winter Winds', written in 1943, is undoubtedly the best known, owing to its use as his signature tune and to Slim Dusty's 1957 recording of it. The song, now rated as an Australian country classic, won Shorty a gold award in 1992. Over the years, he received many other awards including a Golden Guitar. He was honoured several times as a Pioneer Of Country Music in Australia and in 1993, he was elected to the Australian Country Music Roll of Renown.

Thanks Tony.  This might be a bit more difficult. .

Cheers,

Sheba.

We've just had one of his contemporaries as a subject, and two of them had the same first Working name as his.

Is it Coleman Hawkins?

Not him Sandy. Think about what I just posted..  Thought it would be gone by now. 

He looks a bit like Quincy Jones but I cant see the same first Working name as one of the previous.

"Fats." ?

G'day Sheba. I can't find a reference to "Fats" but is he Bennie Moten?

Cheers.

I can't believe this.  His name is already on this page !!!  Check out Tony Bevs' second last post.

Is it Fats Waller?

WOW!!!.  Good on you Sandy.  Was it really that hard ?  .

Who do you have for us ?

Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller (May 21, 1904 December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, violinist, singer, and comedic entertainer.^[1] His innovations in the Harlem stride style laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano. His best-known compositions, "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose", were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1984 and 1999.^[2] Waller copyrighted over 400 songs, many of them co-written with his closest collaborator, Andy Razaf. Razaf described his partner as "the soul of melody... a man who made the piano sing... both big in body and in mind... known for his generosity... a bubbling bundle of joy". It's possible he composed many more popular songs and sold them to other performers when times were tough.

Waller started playing the piano at the age of six, and became a professional organist aged 15. By the age of 18 he was a recording artist. Waller's first recordings, "Muscle Shoals Blues" and "Birmingham Blues", were made in October 1922 for Okeh Records.^[3] That year, he also made his first player piano roll, "Got to Cool My Doggies Now."^[3] Waller's first published composition, "Squeeze Me," was published in 1924.^[4] He became one of the most popular performers of his era, touring internationally and achieving critical and commercial success in the United States and Europe. He died from pneumonia, aged 39. One descendant is professional football player Darren Waller, who is Fats' great-grandson.^[5]

Cheers,

Sheba.

Thanks Sheba Now this should be easy to Google who is this athlete?

Ok Time for a clue. This lady (Olympian) was 8 months pregnant when she ran a race with the permission of her doctor. She came last in the race.

It can't be that hard I just Googled the info I posted and got 3 items with her name.

You got it bluecat I thought for a mo that no one was going to get it. Over to you for a pic.

Alysia Montaño (née Johnson) (born April 23, 1986) is an American middle distance runner. She is a six-time USA Outdoor champion 2007 (1:59.47), 2010 (1:59.87), 2011 (1:58.33); 2012 (1:59.08); 2013 (1:58.67); 2015 (1:59.15).^[1] She perhaps gained more notoriety for the 2014 race that she competed in while 8 months' pregnant.^[2] She also ran the same race in 2017's Championships, again while pregnantthis time, at 5 months. She has represented the United States at numerous international championships including the 2012 Olympics. She distinguishes herself by wearing a flower in her hair while running, a personal affectation she adopted to assert her femininity while training with men.

My life philosophy has been to be bold and courageous

Alysia Montaño^[3]

On the international level she has exhibited a bold, front running style, challenging other runners to keep up with her.

At the 2012 Olympics, Montaño finished in fifth place. In November 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agency recommended two Russian women who finished in first and third be given lifetime bans for their doping violations at the Olympics.^[4] The International Olympic Committee has not yet issued any disqualifications. If the IOC does disqualify the two athletes and advances the other finishers, Montaño could be awarded the bronze medal.
