John Levy Smithsonian Interview Block 125 (Q15074)

I was fascinated by the bass player, because he was on the rear end of this float with a bow. He would hit his thing and play it. And the trombone player was on the rear end. That's why they call the trombone player ["tailgate"] - on the end, so he can have room for the slide, the trombone. These two people were on the rear. Then the other people were in the other parts of the float.
