As a kid, this was my most favorite piece of music. I loved whistling it. Now, with
all the tooth repairs, I can't hold a tune. What a coincidence that you should pick
it. Thanks...for the song and the memories.

We once saw Aida performed live on stage at the NY Met with real
elephants in the processional march and the whole 9 yards. What a
show.

Good tip on the Doc Sevreinsen CD, thanks.


Never cared much for Doc Sevreinsen's trumpet style. Seemed like all he
did was hit high, blaring notes just to show off his talent.

He's much different playing 'classical' music. He's not up to Wynton's standards, but
I like him.

Listen to this from Wynton Marsalis, and then note the comment: "Brilliant. Having
heard this many times, I've come to the conclusion that there are two trumpeters: Mr.
Wynton and Mr. Marsalis! Alternatively, this man has three pairs of lips."

The guy is phenomenal. If it drags too much at first, go to about 5:30 and listen to
the rest. Three pair of lips might be an understatement
