In 1978 I heard I just wanna stop. I worked at a radio station. She would call me and say, "play Gino for me." I did and didn't really care foe it. one day by accident I played the B side. "The Surrest Things can change." I was completely blown away. I was a music theory major in college. I played it over and over. I wrote the chord changes down from my head. "WOW" Since I worked in radio I looked up his concert schedule and found in Buffalo NY. He was doing the Brother tour. I was completely blown away. I have been a fan since😊

I had the great privilege of meeting Maynard in his dressing room along with a friend of mine before a performance at Wigan pier in the late 70s/early80s. He was a truly warm, wonderful person, very charismatic and extrovert as you might expect. I remember saying something to him along the lines of how great it was to meet him and what a great musician he was to which he replied.... 'you haven't heard me play yet!" After the concert bizarrely and purely by chance we bumped into him (and most of his band) having a late night curry somewhere in the town centre. Happy memories.

The song was sung by Bob Hope in the review "The Ziegfeld Follies of 1936" and was made famous by trumpeter Bunny Berrigan. When movie people saw Bob Hope singing this song, he began to appear in movies. he has appeared in over 50 movies and won five Academy Awards. He was knighted by the British Royal Family. As a comedian, he continued to perform comfort work in various war zones from World War II to the Gulf War. I've seen too many wars," he said. As a golfer, he played on the PGA Tour. When he died in 2003 at the age of 100, President George W. Bush commented that "America has lost a great citizen," and California's Burbank Airport was renamed "Bob Hope Airport" in his honor. When you think about it, maybe the lyrics are a prophecy, or a spell that brings "happiness" (even if you don't want it). I know it's a long story, but with the current tensions in Ukraine, I'm sure your country is going through a particularly difficult time. But I'm sure it will be resolved politically and peacefully! In other words, it's like a spell to bring happiness, just like this song. I wish you good health and happiness....🌙✨🥃291

Although Herb Alpert and his warmer, mellower sound is my personal all-time favorite trumpeter I respect and admire these two virtuosos who make it look easy. In the 1960s Hirt had a few pop trumpet hits such as "Java" and "Cotton Candy" during the TJB's golden era. One thing I noticed is that when Al Hirt was playing he was pressing the valves with the 2nd knuckles of his fingers, something which I've seen Herb Alpert do many times.
