Jerry Hoover's Firehouse Band out of Springfield MO played an arrangement of
"The Letter" (rock tune from the 1970's) that worked so well I'm amazed that
someone didn't re-release it as a single. It was "stomped-down early jazz"
style complete with banjo, tuba, and tailgate.

p.s. to Dave Gravatt: is there a recording of that arrangement somewhere? I
need it in my archives.
