The Main Thing In My

More And More As Time Has Gone On, I Realize That Playing Is Really More About Listening Than It Is About Playing.

My Older Brother Mike Is An Excellent Trumpet Player. By The Time He Was 12, He Was Playing Around Kansas City In Classical Situations. He Was Already An Amazing Talent.

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.
