.......and finally (sorry for doing three posts!) -- it's great to hear Seymour's playing, including the "jamming," not to mention reciting baseball factoids. :-)
"Did you know".......Jackie Jensen is on the Norman Rockwell poster of a rookie walking into the locker room. Jackie and some of his Boston teammates took a trip to Lenox, MA for Rockwell to sketch them.
The phrase "long-hair music" seems to have gone away, to the point that it took me a while to start getting that bit.
About Jerry Mahoney wondering if a soloist "doesn't have any friends" -- I wouldn't be surprised if Winchell got that from something a kid said, because it's exactly what I thought as a young child, if I heard a record of someone singing solo. Kids think all kinds of things!
I was a big fan of Paul Winchell -- watched him 'religiously' on TV, and then was able to see him (and his little friends) in person in the Catskills, at just about exactly that same time. (Got his autograph, still have it 'somewhere.')
And I was later to become a fan of Seymour Bernstein. :-)
Profound moment from Winchell: "You don't like it because you don't understand it."
We see that he really knew music. As a kid I knew he could sing a little :-) but I never realized this.
Listen to this? Everyone should! This is historic -- as is everything else you have posted here on YouTube! You will own this place soon!

One can easily tell that Bernstein is no dummy!

".....had the audience glued to their seats!"
