The Best Musicians Are Not The Best

Listening Is The Key To Everything Good In Music.

The First Thing I Learned Was The Theme From Peter Gunn.

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.
