Harry H

Frank, thanks for the compliment. I can still remember when I, at the age of 10 or 11, I listened to the most noteable trumpet player of that time, Harry James. I tried my best to emulate his style of playing, plus I liked his first name.....lol. In my later years, my idols were Rafael Mendez, Doc Severinsen and Maynard Ferguson. Needless to say, I never reached the talent level of any of these wonderful players, but I certainly set my goals high.

Ray, I can't believe that I said, "Get them to play better". I don't remember ever being that astute with my comments.......lol. At least I didn't say, "Get them to play MORE better".

Frank, you have it all wrong, I played with Our Lady of Perpetual Motion. Andy, the only percing that I do is with my morning coffee.

And to you who commented about my attire, as I told Nanci, money was tight when I was a kid, and my entire wardrobe was hand me downs from my older brother.....☺

Andy, you the man!
