Subject: RE: Great ocarina solos.
It's come to a a sad day when Mike Billo is the voice of reason and maturity, and a role that I'm not at all happy with, but here goes. The Texas fiddler Johnny Borowski who was active with many Western Swing bands in the '30's and '40's would occasionally play some incredibly hot ocarina solos. Most notably on"Cross Patch" with Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies. Del Porter of Spike Jones and his City Slickers was a great Ocarina player who led an Ocarina quartette called "The Foursome".
