He's held the record before. Hora Stacatto 1096 notes.....90 seconds.
  In my youth, one of my prize posessions was a '78' of British Harmonicist
Ronald Chesney having Flight of the Bumble Bee on one side and Hora Stacatta
on the other. I really regret having lost it. Does anyone on the list know
whether Blackie Shackners renderings of these two tunes are commercially
available?
In the innocence of youth I used to try to emulate Mr. Chesney (On the basis
of: "Heck if it has been done it can be done!)Even though I only ever got
two or three bars into them, I wish I still had that enthusiasm and self
belief now.
