Tom Wiggins and his Orchestra,

I am still laughing at that .  I played with brushes the whole time and the 
academic folks danced leading with their left foot, and loved it, talk about 
smooth jazz, Heck I played it long before they invented it ( at least by today's 
standards)  :)

In all fairness, maybe they were all left handed, didn't mean to insult any 
lefties out there.

Cheers,
