Gravels in my Playlist: Coffeetime Homebrew ep 164

Screenshot from a 1959 episode of Playboy Penthouse showing Cy Coleman sitting at the piano singing with Charlie Shavers alongside playing his muted trumpet. Also at the piano stands Hugh Hefner and a woman; Hugh is lighting his pipe.
Lighting it up with Cy and Charlie!
