Gene Krupa Writes to Buddy Rich

by Victor Ozeri
(new york city)

I recently acquired a framed photo of Gene Krupa, the drummer. The inscription is to Buddy Rich, the famous orchestra conductor of the day. It reads:

"To Buddy, who conducts his orchestra with the ease he makes friends, Wish you every success Buddy, You deserve it...

Signed Gene Krupa 7/24/35"

The handwriting is excellent and very clear.

Can you tell me what this might be worth?

Both Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were orchestra leaders at various times in the careers. Both of them were drummers - in fact, they were the two most famous drummers of their time.

They had a mutual admiration for one another. There is a drum battle on YouTube that is worth watching.

The typical Gene Krupa autographed photo is worth $150. Yours, if its authentic, is worth more than that. How much could only be determined by who sees it when it is put up for sale.
