T:Coda to the Cuckoo Solo
N:”as played by Martin Titus.”
N:Homan underscored this coda with some cryptic comments,
N:perhaps directed to an audience: “Old Ike Homan will play in one
N:week | over the Left|”, “go in uncle Ike”, and “now give it fitts old boy.”
N:Finally: “Brava Uncle Ike. Old Tite thinks he is some some punk(s) to”
