Repost by Popular Demand "And It Comes Out Here".













Kathy:  Re your news  clip "And it comes out Here".  Peter ought to be ashamed playing an easy to blow  one pound clarinet while Elna carried the heavy twenty-five pound sousaphone  that takes massive puffs  to go "woof  woof".  In my day Bry Jacobs played the  big instrument in the high school band and we  did not have one in our Hamilton  band.  The clarinet was popular both bands and we had many Benny Goodman  imitators.   On page 39 of my book I talk about three of them.      lee
