Pete Fountain - Struttin' With Some BBQ

[mathroots]

look carefully at the trombone player in the middle, at timeline 1:00 and 1;10, and you'll see that he is having his own kind of fun with someone in the audience, giving them the "stinkeye" and the Italian hand-under-the-chin gesture. . .gotta amuse yourself somehow after playing the same tune over and over, night after night.

[JimV33]

@MrGordaooO To my knowledge there is not one available. I'll check with Pete Fountain Productions to see what we can do. Seems to be some interest out there.
