No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Treniers.

The Trenier twins, Claude and Clifford, were born in Mobile, Alabama, on July 14, 1919, the third and fourth children brought into this vale of jive by Denny and Olivia Trenier, whose spawn eventually numbered ten. It was a musical family. Denny Trenier, in between ejaculations, played the baritone horn with the Excelsior Band, one of the legendary marching and funerary brass groups in the deep South; Olivia played piano; and their children took to the rhythm at a tender age…

Claude Trenier: “I remember we were playing the Riptide in Wildwood, New Jersey, in the summer of 1950. Bill Haley had a cowboy band, the Saddlemen, that played right across the street from us. He used to come in and watch us. He asked us what we called the music we were playing. And we told him. Hell, we told him.”

— Nick Tosches, ‘The Treniers: Their God Wore Shades,” from Unsung Heroes of Rock’n’Roll.
