Mickey Rooney is one of the few people I can think of that lived a full life. He's been in films since he was so little, and continued doing films for 93 years until his death. And boy what a talent he was, he's done everything, musicals, Broadway, Comedies, drama's, and even a biography. He was honored, tributed, and lived long enough to see it all. He's a huge inspiration to me, and I sure wish I met him. The best part is, he didn't die of AIDS, Cancer, or an infection, just old age, like everyone should.

Sadly he received a large amount of elder abuse in his latter days. He was stolen from, physically beaten and verbally abused by those closest to him.

For sure the saxophonists are FAKING it. If the Top button on the sax. The Auxillary F key is fingered, whilst other keys are being activated by any of the other fingers , except another key being closed by the middle finger of the left hand) and a side key of the right hand, a terrible sqauking sound would ensue. commonly seen to be carried out in movies I get the feeling the drumming is slightly out of sync. with the Sound Track. @@raylombardo4186
