Indeed!  It's a piano satire in the vein of, but far more subtle 
than, Paul Weston/Jonathan Edwards.  I discovered that LP a couple of 
years ago while I was working on my Spike Jones collection, the 
connection being that the face of Irving Garner reflected in the 
piano on the cover is actually that of Freddy Morgan, Spike Jones's 
daffy banjoist.  I remastered the extremely rare LP to CD; I've put 
it on my web site if any of you are curious enough to look it up.
