Sousaphone is present, contrary to what it says in "info" !

[tdub1941]

To be exact , you are correct that the sousaphone is present, but what I meant was that Earl McKee was not there. I think that the sousaphone player in this video is Kit Johnson from the Black Swan Classic Jazz Band.

Thanks for calling this to my attention, and I'll edit the "info" so as to avoid furure cornfusion!

YOU MUST GO TO THE OLD RAMON NAVARO MOVIE 'THE BARBARIAN' TO SEE THE TENDER NATURE INTENDED THE ORIGINAL VERSION. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRIZED. WE, THE RAINIER JAZZ BAND PLAYED THIS FOR YEARS IN THE EARLY 80s. MY LATE DAD FIRST REQUESTED THIS VIA THE PHEONIX JAZZERS HAVING SEEN THE MOVIE IT AS A KID. RON DID A FANTASTIC VOCAL ON IT. THANKS, RAN
