Thank you, Keely.
The end of a beautiful friendship.
beginning, Morton.
Only the beginning.
Okay, if we're coining phrases, I'll say,
well begun is half done.
You can't top me.
A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush.
And here we'll quit, Keely,
because whether you know it or not,
we've made our point.
But at the beginning, a good start
is worth two in the bush,
which is the story of the
very special deal
the Air National Guard has
for any young man
who qualifies for pilot training.
Man,
if I was just only a few years younger.
Don't fight it, Count.
We'll take you on as music consultant.
How about the touch of your lips?
I'm playing piano, Martin, remember?
So let's let Marshal Royal
touch his lips to the alto.
Always it's music for a guard session.
Count Basie plays.
It's take one.
How did you like the song?
