Wilmer Wise

hi wilmer; just a question for you.when at mastbaum ross wyre gave us a piece of musicto play.it was titled"symphony in steel " i believe written by sibelius.i know it was preformed by the los angeles symphony.i am going back to 1950 -- 51.i can recall it started for trumpet on a high "c".marchione popped every time.me most of the time.teddy curson i don't recall .at that time teddy was playing 2nd chair.i keep looking for it everywhere but to no advail.any suggestions??

hi wilmer;i once met the trumpet man with james brown.his name was jason.that was in 1983.they were in town playing at the uptown. i was bar manager at the budget motor lodge in mount laurel,n.j. on route 73.jason said he was with jb for 17 years.the keyboard man's name was sweetwater.i do not recall the other members names.what a great bunch of guy's.they would come down at lunch time and talk about the show the night before.do you jason? what a very nice person.

hi wilbur; i have some amusing antedotes of meeting some well know musicians and vocalists. where would be a good place to post them? i wished i had known you the many years ago in philly.i would really like to hear you play.at my age i have so many memories that i cherish that i want to share them with people who may think they are humorous or that they may learn from them.no greater gift than to share.
