The story

Circa 1913, in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, Thomas Dorsey, Sr, a coal miner, moonlights as a music teacher. He insists his sons Jimmy Dorsey, 9, and Tommy Dorsey, 7, respectively, learn the saxophone and trombone to avoid the coal mines. Initially, the boys are unenthusiastic, resentful of long hours of practice and the father’s strict discipline when they gripe.
