Had to write again to tell you that I forwarded this to several birthday friends over the last year, including Eddie Jenkins. What a treat this performance was, Whitey, and what a great friend you were with Dad during the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band days. Be well and happy, all of you! Carrie :>
I've played your " Wah Wah Happy Birthday" (which you played for me on my Big Day) over and over... for friends, family, and myself. There's no better rendition than yours. With Mary and Scott in your heart and home, every day must be like a birthday!
With love and wishes for a wonderful upcoming Holiday Season,
From :48 on reminds me of Whitey's solo on my first composition. It was Texas Christian University jazz ensemble either 1969 or 1970. Whitey played moog synthesizer. Just like that!
@losth3arts its called a valve trombone they have them for people who used to play euphonium/ kids who are intending to switch to trombone but do not know the slide positions.
