I blow air into Doc's hands and make a "toot" on this Show! The second video of this 1979 Show is where I perform "What kind of Fool am I".
Guest Host- David Letterman (Johnny Carson was off that night)

  • This is very funny and cool vid my friend Ben....This is real pro Ben....

  • @PhilippineJeann Jeann- I really enjoyed your latest TV video.Your voice was amazing when I first heard you years ago, and it beyond outstanding now! I'm glad that you enjoyed my appearance on the Top Show in the USA back in 1979 that all the Stars were on when they made it in Show Business. I was lucky that I was a highly professional and unique human interest story They contacted me and invited me onto the Show. They flew me out First class to California, limo and Hotel and $448. for Show.

  • You are just so amazing Ben! ;D

  • @albrenza Lea- This was a lifetime ago! I was only 26 here. I was totally on my own answering questions, there were no cue cards. I was scared to death. I was told to say that I handwhistled for a living, though. Glad that you enjoyed this. I hope that it cheered you up, especially when I blew into Doc's hands and got a toot. Doc Sevrensen is one of the top three trumpet players in the World from the past 100 years.

  • That is so cool. Doc was getting into it.

  • @deezynar Did I miss responding to you? If I did not respond two months ago I am sorry. I really appreciate it that you not only took the time to watch this video, but left a nice comment. The Tonight Show Part 2 is also up here where I play "What kind of fool am I" with the Show's band pianist. I wish you and your family well in 2011.

  • @Greatwomengirls Yes ZinniA, David Letterman cheated on his wife with young women who worked on his Show. The great golfer Tiger Woods did the same thing and he is now going through a divorce. What he did makes no sense to me. The sound is just like an ocarina, not a flute or recorder which I know now. How did you like me blowing into Doc's hands and getting a toot? That was a great moment in my life. Doc is one of the five greatest trumpet players who ever lived!

  • @Greatwomengirls Are you kidding? I have taught vocal/general music in the Philadelphia School District for thirty one years. I have passed on all of my musical expertise to my students in grades K-8. One of my students who I taught twenty years ago just emailed me on one of my videos asking me how I was doing. He did very well with his life. He served two tours of duty in the Navy in Iraq and was married with a two year old daughter! I hear from former students all the time.

  • awww,,, how mean, cudn't afford an instrument... LOL??? he recently got caught in a scandal wasn't he?
