So having nothing to say, I decided on this...

Al Hirt was my hero for many many years. I always tried to sound like him and play like him. Now forty some odd years later all I can say for certain is I'm six feet tall and nearly 300 pounds of bearded trumpet player. Do I play like him or sound like him? Well, maybe a little, but I sure do look like him, but with more grey hair.
