| MahlerBrass, it's Ed, please, and never Mr. Carroll. By the way, I can't agree more with your "Music isn't a career, it's a way of life" statement.
BPinard, thank you. By the way, the New York Trumpet Ensemble (Mark Gould, Dave Bilger, Jeff Curnow, Scott Thornburg, et moi) once opened for Dizzy Gillespie at the Williamsburg Festival. He couldn't play a note (embarrassing) warming up backstage and later settled in playing congas. Jon Faddis played incredibly in his stead and we thought that was that until Night in Tunisia , which closed the first half. Dizzy picked up his horn and those of us who heard him backstage cringed. He then ripped of a dozen choruses sounding like, well, Dizzy Gillespie. It was an incredible display of the power of music and what it can do to/for us (more on this topic later, I'm sure).
stcman, time will tell. Thank you.
HoosierDaddy, what's left of my brain is all yours (and Trent's, even though he imagines that it's somehow important to win a World Series at least once per decade. Trust me, it's not (or is) (or isn't)
(I'm conflicted, obviously)
Bedankt, Trompetvrouw. Ed, alstublieft?
22925H, it's all between the lines (and I loved Some Like It Hot )
This is going to be fun!
