As the penguins of time relieve themselves on the iceberg of eternity, and the greengrocer of destiny boots them out of the door, we wish Humph goodnight.

The world is not quite so silly without you.

Bully, I had never heard of this fellow until your post. And then reading about him (Louis "Armstrong had declared him the greatest British trumpeter" according to the Telegraph obit) I regretted it took his death for me to become aware and appreciate his talent. Thanks for the post (which inspired me to post about it at my blog, giving you full credit, of course).
