@gardedog It is a Lujon, a set of resonated, spring-steel plates. Sort of a bass mbira; but with short, wide plates, which are clamped tight at one end. It is usually played with mallets; but here, Shelley Manne appears to be plucking the tines.
@ch1ck3nm God Bless you. Check with local military organizatiosn (Veterans,Reserves, recruitment...) also leave your card with every funeral home in your area. Our veterans and their families deserve proper honors and will be most appreciative of your dedication and efforts.
@MissPunkRockery You're looking for "We're Only In It For The Money." On the cover is a word bubble asking "Is this phase one of Lumpy Gravy?" That is probably why the confusion.
@maryhadalittlelamb25...even in the best situations, the composers get very little for their music; that is unless it is so popular that 100s of artists record it. I seriously doubt King Radio received $50 - $100 for composing this. I also doubt US copyright law extends to Trinidadians.
