:24:22
That was very good.
:24:24
Thanks.
:24:26
You must like it here to stay so late.
:24:28
It's a good place to play.
No leaders and customers.
:24:32
Nobody in the next room
to tell me to shut up.
:24:34
Oh, I'm sorry about the mix-up
at that rehearsal.
:24:37
If I hadn't stopped singing, maybe Jack
wouldn't have been so hard on you.
:24:41
It was your number. I didn't have
any business butting in anyway.
:24:46
It seemed kind of right.
:24:49
Incidentally, you're about the best
I've heard.
:24:52
Well, thanks. You know something?
:24:55
There's a guy on records who has a style
very much like yours. Name is Hazzard.
:25:00
- Art Hazzard.
- Do you know him?
:25:03
Since I was a kid.
:25:05
He taught me to play.
:25:08
He had a lot of trouble with me once.
I was starting to get a roll.
:25:12
A what?
:25:13
When you drop your mouthpiece
low on your lip.
:25:16
Keep playing that way, you get
so you can't bring it up where it belongs.
:25:19
Worst thing can happen to a trumpet man.
:25:22
It gets you tired awful easy.
:25:24
But he straightened me out. He gave me
an exercise and made me work on it.
:25:31
Boy, it did the trick.
:25:33
Yeah, he knows. He really knows.
:25:36
I guess it's his fault I switched to a
trumpet. I always liked the piano before...
:25:42
...but the trumpet...
:25:43
I don't know.
:25:45
Maybe because it's so close to you, huh?
:25:48
It's like it's a part of you.
The music doesn't have so far to go.
:25:54
How about it? This is a dance hall,
not a hotel.
:25:57
- I gotta lock up.
- Sorry, Bill.
