"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

78s having sound in the treble register, they packed in high sounding instruments and the results are very interesting. The 3 way instrumental dialogue is well done, each a unique voice and never a dull moment. I'd like to know who the guitarist is.
Oh I know Danny Weis, and his dad looks familiar maybe saw him in a movie.
Quote from the article: '“East of the Sun” by Johnny Smith. There was one lick in it that was super fast. We ended up slowing it down from 33 1/3 to 16 on the record player to try and catch it all.' Yeah we did that, and used cassette players, Johnny Smith is one of my favourites too.

I believe the guitarist at the time was Johnny Weis. Here's a nice tribute from his son, Danny Weis, who is a guitarist of note in his own right.
