 The restatement of the theme is actually derived from a guitar solo on the album which [[Sal Marquez]] took down on paper. After about an hour of wheeling the tape back and forth, [[Sal Marquez|Sal]] managed to transcribe this rhythmically deranged chorus (I don't have the ability to do this kind of musical dictation, but, since [[Sal Marquez|Marquez]] had a full-bore education at North Texas University, he had it covered). After he'd written it out, we proceeded to over-dub three trumpets on it, and, presto! An organized conclusion for "'''Big Swifty'''."<br>
