Little known fact: My step-grandmother's (she is deceased) first husband (my grandfather was her fourth) reportedly played with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. She kindly gave me his cornet...a very nice instrument...this memory was triggered by an email from my friend Phil Salazer who sent me this link:

The guy plays a mean bicycle pump at the end.....
Which led me to this nice site:

Does this mean you're officially "The Paul Whiteman of Experimental Music?"
BTW, my step-grandmother out-lived all of her husbands....except my grandfather...
