“Ladies and Gentlemen, we'd like you to meet Shorty Petterstein, who is one of the up and coming jazz, uh, French trump- trumpeters, do they call 'em Oscar?”
“No, man, I blow, um, French horn, man. I blow French horn, man.”
“Would you get a little, just a, a little closer to the microphone?”
“French horn man.”
--"Interview with Shorty Petterstein" (1955) by Henry Jacobs

"This [Interview with Shorty Petterstein] is the only item on this record which has not been broadcast. It is an "interview" with a modern jazz musician. This tape was made along with the phony "Music and Folklore" interviews. However here, roles were reversed and Mr. Leafer interviews me as I improvise the character of Shorty Petterstein." --liner notes to Radio Programme No 1 Audio Collage: Henry Jacobs’ Music and Folklore (1955)
