1. That guitarist looks like Will Ferrell and......
.
...I kept expecting him to whip out a cowbell at any moment.
.
I'd forgotten they were from Scotland.
.
Reminds me of my most bizarre, yet coolest musical moment.
.
Mid-70's, wandering aimlessly down the K-damm in West Berlin,
and all of a sudden I hear some SMOKIN' HOT Dixieland jazz
somewhere ahead of me.
.
Grand opening of a multi-story department store and, to draw
people in, they have an 8-pc live Dixieland band playing in
the entranceway. I work myself across that WIDE boulevard in
order to talk to some fellow Americans and come to find that
these young musicians were from SCOTLAND and had never actually
seen live Dixieland, but had learned it all from listening to
records.
.
Authentic American music played in Germany by a Scottish band.
.
How cool was THAT?
