Dan, thanks for getting my CD download. Appreciate it.

Yes, Chuck Mangione was at Eastman and I first heard of him when he did his Friends and Love concert. I've played with a few of those same folks. Do you remember Gerry Niewood, Chuck Mangione's sax player, who died last year? I just played his tune, Joy, tonight in concert.

I was playing flugelhorn in Albany around the same time, with Nick Brignola, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnnette among others. I was Nick's trumpet player in the 70s. Many gigs at the Van Dyck. Yes, he died a few years ago.

I've played a few times at Justin's to back up friends. My instruments are flugelhorn, doubling on trumpet, soprano sax and flute. Piccolo trumpet in church.
