In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is playing in my grade school band, jumping between trumpet, trombone, or whatever was needed. I loved filling the gaps, even if I was never exceptionally proficient on any single instrument. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fats Waller, The Very Best of Fats Waller (Remastered) Louis Jordan, The Best of Louis Jordan Louis Prima, Capitol Collectors Series: Louis Prima I love these guys. Virtuosic musicians and singers, and having a heck of a time. The fun they project is infectious. And they are wonderful composers and lyricists to boot. What's not to like? Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “If I Could Be with You (One Hour Tonight)” I love James P. Johnson's tune. What I wouldn't, couldn't do if I could be with you for an hour. Tonight! :).
