Pick Yourself Up

1958, recorded on an old mono tape recorder at the Tiger Lounge, Madison, Wisconsin. The group below was "The Qunitessence," the first group at the Tiger Lounge. Quality leaves much to be desired, but better this than nothing. Picture includes Rick Temple (far right-bass), Don Leikam (far left), Dick Leikam (tenor Saxophone), Gordy Franks (drums holding his cheek) and finally me with some hair!! This tune was fairly big in those days--reintroduced by George Shearing.
