| Doc,
Before I had heard you perform with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra when I was a music student in college, I was listening to you throughout my teenage years and trying to model after your sound. I think that you have the greatest trumpet sound! To this day, I continue to strive to make such a wonderful sound on the trumpet. When I’ve received compliments on my sound, I usually attribute it to hearing your sound concept at such a young age. It has highly influenced my playing. Thanks for giving us your all.
Enjoy your retirement! You deserve it!
