That has to be the biggest turntable belt I've every seen. Nice table.

The horns really sound unforced, as if they "just happened."

You've got a 60Hz hum in there somewhere.

Frank's one of my favorite pianists, but he's outdone himself here.

Frank is awesome, don't even try to deny this fact. But this work is not his best one. We've discussed this question with my close friend (he has also help me write my essay for college) and he also has the same opinion as I am. This guy has a great talent, but Laverne is pretty average. Tell me if I wrong.
