Love Diary #35

Student teacher Mindy and her friends go to Mardi Gras on vacation. Mindy falls for jazz player Skeets, “a wizard with the clarinet!” She decides to stay in New Orleans with him, but he doesn’t seem to care about being financially rewarded for his genius. Seeing the poverty-stricken old age of jazz great Binky reinforces her concern. Skeets agrees to audition for a secure job with Hank’s orchestra but fails to show up. Mindy calls him a “music hobo” and they break up. She gets a teaching job and tries to forget him. Skeets reappears: he took the orchestra job and now they can be married.
