HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Nickname" is not recognized
Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (April 22, 1935– January 4, 1969) was a jazzdouble bassist. A fixture of rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, his importance in the development of jazz bass can be measured not only by the length and breadth of his work in this short period but also his impeccable time and intonation, and virtuosic improvisations. He was also known for his bowed solos.
Biography
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on April 22, 1935, to Paul Lawrence Chambers and Margaret Echos. He was raised in Detroit, Michigan following the death of his mother. He began playing music with several of his schoolmates; the baritone horn was his first instrument. Later he took up the tuba. "I got along pretty well, but it's quite a job to carry it around in those long parades, and I didn't like the instrument that much." Chambers became a string bassist around 1949. His formal bass training got going in earnest in 1952, when he began taking lessons with a bassist in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Chambers did some classical work himself, with a group called the Detroit String Band that was, in effect, a rehearsal symphony orchestra. Studying at Cass Technical High School off and on from 1952 to 1955, he played in Cass' own symphony, and in various other student groups, one of which had him playing baritone saxophone. By the time he left for New York at the invitation of tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, he had absorbed a working knowledge of many instruments.
He was promoted off Geelong's rookie list in 2002 before making his debut in Round 4 of that year against St Kilda.
He was traded to the Sydney Swans at the end of the 2005 season in exchange for pick 35 (Stephen Owen.) He made his debut for Sydney in Round 1, 2006 against Essendon.
After recording zero kicks in eight of the Swans' first 12 premiership round matches, Chambers was dropped to the club's reserves team. This lack of kicks led many of the fans and Sydney's major newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald to give Chambers the nickname of 'The Donut King'.
At Geelong he was referred to as 'Unco' and 'Sarge'. Paul Roos has referred to him as 'Sarge' in at least one media conference.
At the end of the 2006 season, Chambers retired from AFL football. He then joined the VFL's Werribee Tigers in 2007.
After graduating he entered the Inland Revenue and in 1934 was appointed Income Tax Advisor to the Government of India. He returned to the UK in 1940 to be Director of Statistics and Intelligence in the Inland Revenue. He was then appointed Secretary and a Commissioner of the Board. One of his major tasks during the war was to devise the new PAYE (Pay as You Earn) employee taxation system in use in the UK today. After the war he served on the Control Commission for Germany for two and a half years.
In 1948 he succeeded Sir William Coates as Financial Director of Imperial Chemical Industries (now ICI), one of Britain's largest companies. He became Deputy Chairman in 1952 and was Chairman from 1960 to 1968, the first non-scientist to hold the post. He moved from there to be Chairman of Royal Insurance.

When 10 years after starting my music informative project YouTube turned down the possibility of monetize my page (meeting the necessary requirements on followers and hours of visits) because it is a “Channel which uses other person’s contents with no significant changes”, I wasn’t convinced because you can see commercials in some of my presentations and because I had the idea of spending the little money I could make on the maintenance of the page https://www.gramolaglobal.com as well as being of some help to entities whose goals are helping other people.
Sometime later, I can see that being apart from any income and keeping on focused exclusively on the informative aspect, gives me the freedom to do things calmly with no concerns and avoids me from problems which may come from this reason. Sharing information for the sake of it with the possibility of contributing with authors to get some benefit in some cases.

When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your hearts is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star Like dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret losing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and pulls you through When you wish upon a star
