Thanks for notice of the video clip of Pete Fountain.  His "final
performance" was for his regular mid-week show at Hollywood Casino in Bay
St. Louis, Mississippi.  This is nearby his post-Katrina built home.  For
the last several years he had a mid-week performance and as they said on the
video-clip, that final performance was for his regular gig at Hollywood
Casino.  They remarked that Pete wasn't "putting away his clarinet."

 

I'll try to post additional information when/if it surfaces.
