Gweedo Basso (not how it's spelt) / myLot

Gui do Basso, of The Boss Brass, has died. He was a flugelhornist, trumpeter, arranger, composer, conductor, harmonica player... He was 85. Now go ahead and say you've never heard of him. And can you believe I couldn't post this because his first name is a "bad word"? Therefore I couldn't include a sample of his playing because it would have his name in the link. So go search it yourself.

I found this humorous video of him and Al Hirt. Tremendous talent.

Do you mean that Gui*do is a bad word? I really wonder why.

I think it's an insult among Italian Americans living on the Jersey Shore... or something like that.

@BarBaraPrz I did not know, a racist way to mention Italians I suppose.

the things we can’t post sometimes are so crazy sometimes I can’t help but laugh. I have never heard of him but by all that you wrote he sounds incredibly talented.
