We do it, Marek with trombone, answered by the trumpet, and no reed player.
It is on our latest recording.

Of course, it was Chris Barber's band that made that one a world-wide hit
with Monty Sunshine playing the lead on clarinet.  I, in my youth then,
thought that Chris Barber was a fine clarinetist, as there was no mention of
Mr. Sunshine on the jukeboxes in the U.S.   :>
