@Pretzel There are only 2 pop songs with a piccolo trumpet solo that I know of: Paul Simon's "Boxer" and McCartney's "Penny Lane".

A great example of a song that appeals universally, taps into universal truth with a sole narrator.

@helenS update yes it’s a piccolo trumpet blended with a pedal steel guitar, there is also bass harmonica involved, so it’s not the South American group.

@BackyardShaman I think it's the same trumpet as in "Penny Lane".
