This footage of "John Handy's New Orleans Stompers" (aka the "December Band") was filmed on a tour
through Connecticut during December of 1965.

The band consists of four musicians from the early New Orleans tradition Capt. John Handy on alto sax,
Kid Thomas Valentine trumpet, Jim Robinson trombone, and Sammy Penn drums.

From the young generation are Sammy Rimington clarinet, Bill Sinclair piano, Dick Griffith banjo,
and Dick McCarthy bass.
