Sassy Sarah Vaughan,
not for me.
Done especially for a guard session.
And pin another star
on Woody Herman,
Martin. Absolutely.
Four more stars
and you'll promote me
out of sight.
But Martin, I've got a beef.
Yeah, what is it?
You know where I get to name Woody,
don't you? Woodrow Wilson Herman.
Yeah, so
how come you were naming presidents
and left my favorite one out.
Well, that's a long story,
Woody.
Well, I got plenty of time. All right.
You see, President
Wilson didn't know
that when he was 17 years or over
with no prior military service,
he could have enlisted in the National Guard
the way so many young men
are doing today.
Oh.
You see, he didn't know all that.
I see.
Well, thanks for the explanation.
Not at all.
That one's on me.
And have you anything historical
to add to it?
Well, if you consider Muskrat
Bramble historical,
I can say yes. Why not? Hysterical.
It's Woody Herman on a
guard station
and we're rolling.
