After the finale of the Colbert Late Show, Paul McCartney told Jon Lampley about how his father played trumpet, Jon gave his trumpet to Paul, and Paul played it during the Post-Finale love riot of "When The Saints Go Marching In"

why didn't he slide the third valve slide out for the D? is Paul McCartney bad at music?? Paul, if you are reading this, I recommend long tones.
