[78-L] Wild Waves

[yves francois]

LOL LOL LOL et all

ps i have to say when i say "Wild Waves" I got very excited, since I thought we were going to talk about the record by the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, I am just CRAZY about that record, it was the first song I ever learned on a trumpet (guess I was a weird chap, liking the Mills Blue Rhythm Band's record of "Wild Waves" at age 11, so much so, I even wrote a song - much later in life I might add - called "Tashkent" with the growl trumpet intro from the MBRB record ...)
