That little whelp could do a pretty good version of "Chasin' the Trane" on the ould triangle, too, I'll be blasted. First time I ever heard Coltrane, and it was way back in 1823. And that little Welsh drummer-boy, boys and girls, who nobody thought would ever amount to anything, grew up to be none other than Russ Kunkel. The End.
