It shows that he studied classical composing.

I like how he fingers the notes on the trombone with his left hand to mentally center the pitch

[@Bravohi]

It’s not a trombone. He is playing the Superbone.

This is an easy tune to like once you hear it a couple of times.

Randy Kerber was only 18 or 19 at the time. Wow!
