This is my favorite all time Kenton piece. I was in the audience when Ken Richmond led the Orchestra from his lead alto chair. Buddy Childers intro was good to see again. He was the greatest lead player ever.

This song was originally known as the suicide song.after many losers played a version prior to suicide.. How ironic as the trombone of Frank Rosolino is heard
on this arrangement.
there was only one Carl Fontana. He was far and away the best, and a great teacher.
