Thanks for the comments, I really dig your Groovin Higher clip. You have a nice "Vizzuti-Hannah/Barbara" style to your lead playing---very cool. The Northwest is often overlooked as a place for top players, I spent several years in the Portland/Seattle area and know there are monsters other than Bigfoot around. You are definatly one of them. One of my first brass teachers was at Mt. Hood---Dick Shear, formerly with the Kenton Orchestra on trombone. Anyway, great sounds!

Also, I saw that you are in one of my favorite magazines The Brass Herald (the latest issue, with Kiku Collins), but have yet to get past the cover...
