| Hi Larry, what a great post, thankyou for taking the time and effort to continue this exploration of the sound of the trumpet.
Unfortunately, as I am in the middle of my week of working the 'night shift' at Ronnie Scott's (although I am hiting the hay at around 04:00 I am still wide awake at 07:45!!) So right now I am too dog-tired to do your post justice with a thoughtful reply.
I just thought I'd say that I agree with everything you wrote and also with Pat's experience - both of your thoughts echo my own feelings (which is very reassuring to me) and provoke a lot of thought on my part. I'll get back to you all in a more lucid moment. My typing has slowed down to about 6 words a minute right now - what I really need to do is go outside and give myself a slap across the face with a big wet fish ! :)
All the best. Noel.
