When I was 13 I got the measles. And for reasons too complicated to explaine here, I was living with an older couple at the time. The man was friends with the trombone (trumpet?)player from the Spike Jones Orchestra. He had many recordings and photos. I listned to Spike jones in a dark room with a high fever for two or three days. I think it may have been formative.
George Rock was the trumpet player, I can't remember the name of the trombone player at the moment, but he had one of the great stone faces of all time.
