And I have a friend/student, a former professional who studied with
Herseth, who feels similarly, particularly about the new trumpeter Jens
Lindemann, who is capable of playing David Mason['s piccolo trumpet solo
from Penny Lane immaculately live (I know, I've heard him do it).
Sorry Steve, but you comparison with CC is insulting and unworthy.
