Quartet for four Trombones where the first trombone plays an additional Ukulele Solo as well as recites the text of a joke.
A technically very challenging piece which involves the first trombonist reciting the text of a joke and also playing a short ukulele solo for no apparent reason. Seen here in the picture in Beijing where a friendly associate was nice enough to take over the spoken text in Chinese. On the Japanese leg of the tour, Walter Voglmayr told the story himself in Japanese to the amazement and amusement of the audience.
