Pee Wee Hunt was a fine trombonist and made some great records for
Capitol.
In particular I remember his recording of "Snag It" that I though was one
of the best renditions ever os that old blues tune.
Armstrong and Teagarden felt the same way about working up good choruses
and sticking with them. I would have done that myself but I could never work
up a particularly good chorus on anything.
JIm Beebe.
