On a more random note, Bruce Long time no talk. How're things with you?

Hey, Jon!
Thanks for the nudge! No news is good news!
Things are going very well! Life has been pretty crazy for quite a while now. My plate has been very full for the past six months. Some of "nutritional value" has been questionable... however, life is always full of learning experiences. Just like playing the trumpet.. finding what works and sticking with it is always the right plan of action. Eventually, you find a new way to balance everything, and it's an incredible feeling when everything comes together. More on that later!
Back to the topic... Allen Vizzutti!
Allen has been blessed with tremendous musical talent, to say the very least! More importantly, he has developed his talent. To say that Allen has worked harder than any other trumpet player might not be the right way to describe how he has become such an accomplished player... but, I know that he has definitely worked "smarter"!
Through his music... both as a performer and a composer/writer/arranger, he continues to share what is commonly known as a "legacy". He is also very fortunate to be able to experience his accomplishments during his lifetime.
Allen's publications and recordings will live on, and he will be known as one of the legendary people who has, and will continue to have, the ability to impact thousands of trumpet players. What he is really sharing is his love for the trumpet, and his love of life. His musically ability has raised the bar for all trumpet players. Allen has a great personality, and he's never been one to baffle anyone with BS... but, he sure can dazzle you with his brilliance!
I like Doc Severinsen's quip: "Hitch your wagon to a STAR!"
Tchau,
Bruce
