How charming!
Thanks, man. I was always curious about this 45 -- now I know: a musical joke from Herb. (Both sides are timed at 1:50 -- as a gag, I wonder if the same selection was on the flip side.)
We only know one relative of Herb's named Randy who would have been at a young trumpet playing age back then.From what I've read and what is now more obvious on subsequent listens, the bad trumpet playing is not Herb; rather, Herb is trading the melody off with Randy Curtis (a relative) who sounds like a young trumpeter taking up the instrument.
That's what I'm hearing. It probably supposed to suggest a "teacher" playing the first phrase, then the "pupil" answering back.From what I've read and what is now more obvious on subsequent listens, the bad trumpet playing is not Herb; rather, Herb is trading the melody off with Randy Curtis (a relative) who sounds like a young trumpeter taking up the instrument.
