   That’s so different from the disco version I remember from the ’70s. It probably evolved through many versions in the ensuing 5 decades.

    It is Warren Luce playing the slide wistle. He was a drummer with the PW Band, and is my grandfather. He thought it was funny that he played drums all his life with the big bands and that one song was his “claim to Fame”.
