Found a record of Al Hirt at a thrift store, just buy it and hear it for the first time and I love it, excellent music!

It was November 21, 1980. The night they aired 'Who Done It?"....the "Who Shot JR episode?" It was a miserable, rainy Friday night and there were maybe only 75 people in the civiic center where I saw Al Hirt perform this as his encore. I guess Al had an idea that besides the weather being a factor, everyone stayed home to watch just who did shoot JR. Al came out after intermission and told us all who did it.

There comes a plateau moment in the life of every practicing musician when you realize that you have learned all that there is to learn, except that which you yourself will invent and perhaps even re-invent. Mr. Hirt - GRHS - came to that point in his career very early on, and it is soooooooooooooooo much fun to share by listening in his having sheer fun with his horn. He will be sorely missed, by me for one. I will never approach his technique, but he will be a constant inspiration, and I will never forget his music.

Yeh, he say's that triple tonguing is easy. YIKES! I tried to play the trumpet for a period of time. All I can say is that single tonguing was tough enough. I have tremendous admiration for anyone who can triple tongue, and Al Hirt is a prime example of why I have such respect for trumpeters who have professional control over their instrument.

He makes it so easy and effortless.

Hirt, along with Rafael Mendez, Maurice Andre, Harry James and several other big band trumpeters were my heroes growing up. His ability to pull off music like this and his incredible dixieland stuff were the reasons why. Thanks for posting this!
