“Pinske had this habit of telling Frank all the things you could do. That's cool, but I hadn't played trumpet in quite a while, and when Frank found out that I played, he asked how long it would take to get my lip in shape – I told him a couple of months minimum, and he said, ‘Good, you've got three weeks.’” – Bob Harris, 19 December 2000
