   I went to hear Al Grey play one night and he autographed my plunger.

   Then he gave me a hard time about drilling out the hole and cutting
out the inside flap / rim.

    He was wearing a little solid gold trombone around his neck.
He said Sinatra had it made for him for playing Makin' Whoopee
every night with Basie when they backed Frank at the Sands.
Great recording, by the way. Band conducted by Quincy Jones.
