Thnx Babbs and Himm2, for a 10 minute video, I was worried that I would have enough images to fill it. It all sort of wrote itself once I found out the story about the trumpet.
It really is cool how he imbued it with a mythological significance, like the creation of a magical instrument that has a kind of sentience by its signigicance, representing where his father died and symbolic of the people and culture of New Orleans.
Here's something a bit peculiar....
The vid I made of Irvin's last song at Carnegie, I originally titled,
"May He Rest In Peace", even though the audio clearly has Irvin call the song
"May His Soul rest in Peace".
I was really tired that I put the 'wrong' Title to the video...I realised it and renamed it what you hear on the video.
I then happened across an article about the song, in this one, the song is called
“May He Rest In Peace,” ...what I oringinally, 'mistakenly' titled my vid...

and yet another article calls it,
"May your Soul Rest in Peace,"....

and lastly, this article which has the song called what we hear in the audio from Carnegie,
"May His Soul Rest In Peace,'' ...

So what do I call it? Typical Jazz title for a song, fluid and changing LOL
