R.I.P. Floyd Standifer...my grandfather on trumpet he's the one on the end that you can't see till the end of the video. He used to talk about how him and Q (as he called him) always hung out.

I knew Floyd -- such a great talent! I was lucky enough to hear some of those stories -- like when they played a gig and the power went out, but they kept playing!

I listened to Q's bands when I was in the army in Germany in '66-68. They absolutely burned. He was just another expatriate musician then, but a great writer and arranger. I used to ply his tune, "Stockholm Sweetnin" then, in Gflat
