I was fortunate to practice with Junior and Edwin Pouchett in their yard in Cocorite approx. 1953 for a short period. The band was named GOLD COAST and then became "Silver Stars". I lived in Belmont and found this was long ride to Cocorite. I finally became a member o Dixieland until 1956, I migrated to the USA soon after. Condolence to the Pouchett Family.
