But the trumpet solo that opens Crown 3107, "Somebody Stole My Gal," is vac at; whomever it is (maybe Rex Stewart?) has no lip left and piddles out a few notes here and there trying to get something out, totally failing to do so. This was take 3, and you've got to wonder why Obie didn't try takes 1 or 2, but perhaps they were even worse.

David,
According to Walter Allen's "Hendersonia" the trumpet is by Bobby Stark. 
I'll give it a listen.
