DOLPH TRAYMON 1919-2016
Maestro's Music & Memoir
Before Traymon opened the Fife n’ Drum and became a “larger than life” figure in town, he was born Adolph Tramontana in Manhattan. And although known locally for his restaurant and musical talent, the Fife was something of a third act for the man who was friends with Frank Sinatra, shared stages with Milton Berle, and toured with Peggy Lee.
After a career in music, Traymon decided he’d carve out his own little place in show business and put it in Kent, said his daughter Elissa Potts. “He decided at the age of 50 or so” that he would put a piano bar and restaurant on North Main Street in the one-stoplight New England town. And most every night since, he played the Steinway for hours on end, with only a break for dinner, she said.
