[Dixielandjazz] Nelson Riddle + Frank Sinatra = Magic

[Henry Mason]

Hi Guys,

Speakin as the guy who has to play that solo just once on the occasional
gig, let me tell you that Milt Bernhart was a MONSTER if he did 22 takes on
it.    It is right at the top of the horn  (for normal folks anyway) and as
LOUD as you can blow.

I don't even like to see that thing come up in the third set.   As you might
guess,   that is when it most often gets requested.   I keep trying to get
the boy singer to forget the lyrics, but so far to no avail.

That is one of the best.... and the hardest.    Milt must have had an iron
jaw.
