Ah! One of my favourites is "Fats" Waller's "Your Feets Too Big". I 
sometimes entertain the kids miming the words and making gestures while 
playing the CD and they find it absolutely hilarious.

It's the genius of the likes of Oscar Peterson that probably gives us 
technicians the will to suffer in the hope that one day we will meet some of 
these icons in the line of duty. The closest I have got so far is Darius 
Brubeck, the son of Dave Brubeck. At that time I was not a tuner, but a 
sound engineer.

Marcel Carey, you must really be proud of that photo.
