Nice clip Bob. I think it confirms the urban legend that Red Nichols  
taught Milli Vanilli how to lip synch.

What I really loved about that clip is that (I think) the clarinetist  
is Pee Wee Russell and the trombonist is Herb Taylor, both of whom  
sound wonderful. Regarding Pee Wee, this is how he sounded before he  
started experimenting. <grin>
