BREAKFAST CLUB MAESTROS Good music is a Breakfast Club tradition. The musical founda¬ tion built by Walter Blaufuss and his orchestra from 1933 to 1942 has been maintained and expanded by four other maestros. Eddie Ballantine, the present conductor, was a trumpet player in the original Breakfast Club group 20 years ago. Blaufuss’ contributions to the breakfast menu ranged from original hit tunes, like "Your Eyes Have Told Me So” and "My Isle of Golden Dreams”, to hymns and classical arrangements. When Blaufuss took ill in 1942, Harry Kogen, Joe Gallicchio and Rex Maupin shared the baton. Walter died in 1945. Since then Ballantine has directed the orchestra. The only other 20 year veteran is big Bill Krenz, rag-time pianist extraordinary. One week’s musical book for Breakfast Club involves 50 or 60 orchestrations and more than 80 musical gimmicks — much of it written by versatile members of the orchestra. Rex Maupin, 1942-1945 7
