The trumpet player always gets the girl.

The chopper looks like a Hiller UH-12 , a nd the trumpet player is Ray Anthony. The girl, of course, is Marilyn Monroe. Anthony played in the Glen n Miller Orchestra and is the last surviving member of that band. In addition to his studio work, Anthony was a composer and actor, and had a short-lived music variety show. You can see why—the band sounds great, he is a fantastic player, but he has zero personality.

If you are at all into big band, this program is a great primer on the history of the genre and its different styles . And the band is fantastic , with Conrad Gozzo on lead trumpet.

Playing a brass instrument really builds up the lip muscles.  That’s good for smootching (and other things).

This was one of my first CDs.

If you want to dip your toes into Big Band, this is a good place to start.

You definitely can’t go wrong with Glenn Miller.

So, my issue this whole time is that I'm a clarinetist? Damn.

You should have thought of that in middle school.

I chose clarinet specifically to sit next to the pretty girl!

(In hindsight, I should have played bone or horn.)

I had a serious crush on a clarinet player in high school. Then she got pregnant and left school. Oops.

It wasn’t me!
