Oh, yeah, I can never forget that skit. I saw it first on some show in the 60s and then on shows like Ed Sullivan, The Tonight Show and what not. I laugh my ass of every time I see it .
Don't be fooled by Pete's comic approach to the trumpet, he actually was a hell of a good player. _________________ GeorgeB

The first time I saw him shove a trumpet mute into the bottom of his broom and then brush the microphone ever so gently had me laughing so hard, my sides were aching.

I saw a bio of him. In high school he was a statewide champion percussionist, and ran two accordian schools of his own. I love the way he plays piano....great touch and style. Guy's a serious musician and really funny cat...
