I TRULY Enjoyed this Interview..Al was so comfortable and ready to answer all the question thrown at him.....I loved the part when he spoke about his dads influence in ensuring he practiced when he was younger discipline is key when learning an instrument. to me Al Hirt will always be the Greatest Trumpeter that ever Lived!
Thank you for finding and posting this great interview with Al. Loved the rare performance clips of him in his prime too. That man could play anything just like he said. Not bragging, like he said...just a fact. I never got to see him live but he lives on in his great recordings and in the clips that have found their way to youtube!
God Bless you Al. Major inspiration to me and my family.
Al Hirt was the greatest trumpet player of them all

Thanks for this. I’ve been an Al Hirt fan since Java came out in ‘64. “The greatest horn in the world.” Master technician and soulful.
