That was great. I used to have a tiny piano like that when I was a child. I never learned to play anything on it though, not even ‘Chopsticks’.
Best wishes, Pete.

That was Al Hirt doing that. He was the hottest horn out of New Orleans at the time.
When we were kids, we were all into The Green Hornet. I’m surprised it was only on for the one season. That was around the time Dad died…
