Aunt Ruby’s Sweet Jazz Babies are a diverse collection of talented, fun-loving, and knowledgeable personalities. Because the Babies have amassed a wealth of stories and experiences spanning multiple decades, it is unfortunately not possible to relate all of them on this website. Snippets of this additional historical information are always provided at each Babies public appearance in order to help resolve the historical record and urban legends.

The world renown warrior and musician, General Ryan Gould, hails from Pennsylvania and retired from active duty at the close of the Civil War.Traditional Appalachian folklore places his discovery of the Fountain of Youth in Virginia during the Civil War and indicates he placed a sampling of its waters into hiding before the Fountain was accidentally destroyed and forever sealed by advancing Confederate Soldiers.General Gould has written numerous books regarding combat tactics which all still hold the Top Secret security classification and is the world’s foremost expert in the field. General Gould’s love for black eyed peas, which were unavailable in his native Pennsylvania during his early formative years, compelled him to relocate to the Republic of Texas at the close of the Civil War. |

Tartan Purry |
This hardy mountain climber from New Orleans, Louisiana has performed extensively with various Roma gypsy clans throughout southern France and is also known as the Oracle of Delphi. Tartan’s historic ascent to the crest of Mount Everest accompanied by his grandfather and their New Orleans brass band ensemble, an accomplishment that predates Sir George Mallory’s ascent by three years, is routinely omitted from modern history texts.J. Edgar Hoover’s declassified personal files conjecture that Tartans’s exchange of a fruit for a vegetable while cooking Aunt Ruby’s Funny Bubbles in 1956 ultimately led to what has come to be known as the “Hippie Movement” in the United States. There is presently no official record of Tartan’s comments regarding this matter. |

He also conceived of and discretely orchestrated the relocation of the purported Roswell alien spaceship debris to Antarctica for technological harvesting by the premier scientists of all first world nations. |
