Manny,
Thanks for introducing all of us to Doc after the show. Also for the autographed photo of Doc you got for Brigitte....even if he did spell her name wrong she still loves it. It was really special for me to meet him in person the whole time thinking...wow this is the guy I used to watch on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson every night before I went to bed. Now that I think about it not only was he an inspiration for trumpet but also for getting my homework done so I could watch tv.

A couple things slipped my mind last night while we were backstage. First of all, I had posted at the TH about the concert. I was sent a pm from Bernadette (Doc's ex road manager she informed me Tony Scodwell has that position now) to be sure I tell you she says Hi. Secondly, I was supposed to tell Doc that "Oatmeal" said Hello. Bob Odneal had posted that Doc started calling him that back in 1967 when he was 16. I feel bad that it totally slipped my mind and apologise.
