I received a nice letter back from Alisha. Look her up and you'll see a fine trombone player.

I really did enjoy the Doc Severinsen concert at Milliken U. in Decatur, Ill. It was a very nice concert hall just like at Rowan U.
A proclaimation by the absent Mayor killed the mood at the beginning. We all knew the bio but the Mayor had to stroke his ego.
I think Doc was a little bummed out. I was in the second row and he didn't seem as fired up as when I heard him in the past. We, as trumpet players, know when our cohorts are having a good day and a not as good day.
He'll do ok in retirement. Maybe he'll find a salsa band in Mexico. The locals will love him and the American tourists will get a treat once in awhile? That would be cool.
