My good friend Dr Henry Meredith was pals with Bud Herseth. He related a story about a trumpet should try when possible to emulate a voice of a great artist. He said Sinatra had a style for every song, not multiple songs for every style, and that he urged younger musicians to try and emulate vocals because the voice is the greatest instrument. (Wasn't there an argument about that here once or was it a heated discussion?)

52 Seasons as principle trumpet for the Chicago Symphony. Fifty Two!

He said after retiring he's go to Tues rehearsals to see if the conductor had learned to follow the orchestra yet.
