Tommy Dorsey - Who (1937). I don't have this on CD or LP, but I have a mid-50s RCA "shaded dog" 78 reissue - the same label that most of Elvis's RCA recordings appeared on in 78 form. Once the vocal is over, we have a good Tommy Dorsey trombone solo, sandwiched by absolutely stunning solos be Pee Wee Erwin on trumpet and Bud Freeman on tenor.

I listened to a fair amount of Merle Haggard this past week - many great performances. Here are two:

"The Man Who Picked the Wildwood Flower" - a song written by Merle's friend, Tommy Collins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpmpo5OI2MU

"Leonard" - Merle's tribute to Tommy Collins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZUkzcJoqUI

"Ballad with One L." from The Jazz Doctors: Intensive Care (Cadillac)

I can't think why I didn't buy this record.  Maybe I wasn't that impressed by the bands live show.  I probably shouldn't have overlooked it.

I hadn't listened to it for years, though I had very good memories of it. When I did last week, the memories were confirmed - especially side 1.
