Thank you, thank you....My grandfather played bass on this track "Jack Fay" thanks for keeping the spirit alive. I'm still trying to walk in his footsteps......
@PapaGProductions I'm glad you found him on my channel! There's photo of Jack Fay in "Bucky Pizzarelli: A Life in Music" by Terence M. Ripmaster on page 24. There was supposedly a Jack Fay who played tuba with Lombardo. Is this the same person?
@bsgs98 Yup that's my grandfather in the Bucky Pizzarelli book. Jack also played tuba during the war.If you have any photo's that we be great....Thank you so much, it means the world to me.
Well my ears have survived the shrill trumpet intro ok to reveal a swingin late 30s band I have never heard before! All my Red Nichols sides are 20s era. Hey theres Clara with her Hot "It" lips, & that fave India Princess you like to use.. then you go backwards to the teens to that early Armstrong girl, OMG she winked and blew a smooch! You grabbed my Hanshaw winks dint ya? LMAO!!! Brilliant fun!
@2reeler I know that in the lyrics "Hot Lips" was referring to the trumpet player, but I could not ignore those other hot lips. That 'princess' is the beautiful Lupe Vélez, the "Mexican Spitfire."
