Mother loved Spike Jones so I grew up listening to George Rock, a really great player.
I wish I could remember the name of the solo I heard him play on TV.... I can sing it but don't recall the title. Very memorable |

If you have a smart device like an Amazon Echo, Android phone, or iPhone, you can sing the melody and the device can identify the tune.

OK, I'm getting old and absent minded and what I was thinking of is Grand Russian Fantasy and that's the link in the top of this thread. Apparently I didn't check that link before I posted,
But that is great playing!! |
