John Clayton - We've met a few times but probably the jazz musician I'd most like to hang with sometime. I may get that chance when he comes in April!

Kenny Rampton - We first met over a kidney stone! LOL Kenny is an amazing trumpeter playing with J@LCO all around good guy!

Byron Stripling - One of the great trumpeters on the planet and always treats me so well! 

Caleb Elzinga- Was so proud to work with him at Byron then got to see him at MSU. He is no longer a student but the teacher and friend!

Count Fisher - Count and Eve were 2 of my many parents!  I was so blessed to be able to share the bandstand with them. I'm glad I earned the trust to be able to do that. Miss you Count!

All those celebrating birthday's today are beautiful souls and happy for their presence in my life!
