Yeah I'm dating myself with a Tijuana Brass reference (youngsters you can google him).

Anyway from an interview in the Wall Street Journal today:

Q. How do you feel when someone calls your music cheesy?

A. (Laughs) They're thinking too hard. Art is a mystery. There's no way you can figure out what's special if you analyze it. You either feel it or you don't. The definition of art isn't breaking your neck. Why would you do that? Honesty and passion are everything - at least they are for me.

Words to live by from one cool cat. I most definitely "felt it" watching that Magic Dick / Shun Ng video.

Check out his more current recordings. Great music. Not cheesy at all.

Al Hirt is another great trumpet player from that period.
