We're making some homemade jam with Merle Travis.
Hello, Trav.
How you doing, Trav?
Hey, I got a question for you.
Yeah?
What is the first
a
sound
that
you learned to play on that?
Well, one of the first tunes I learned to play on this trumpet
was
a little ditty that is sort of a round robin tune.
We always call it Cannonball Rag.
Oh.
You remember that?
You guys remember that?
How'd it go?
Well, it starts off in G
and
I don't know what that other chord is.
We'll have to ask Tom about that.
I'll play it and we'll find out
and
I'll jump in once I figure out where you're at.
Okay.
