I’ve written of my admiration for former Chicago radio stars the Hoosier Hot Shots in previous posts. While much of their recorded repertoire consisted of novelty ephemera, they could whip out a convincing hot instrumental on occasion to remind folks that the folks playing this ridiculous music were serious musicians.

In this case, it’s the McPhail/ Michels song ‘San’, with some of the finest slide whistle playing you’ll ever hear.

The most comprehensive readily available compilation of Hoosier Hot Shots sides is Everybody Stomp, still in print, and well worth picking up.
