    Hi Bill,
    You made some great points about the young musicians in Nelson's blog.

    At jam sets, there's young rhythm section players sittin' in , and I'm playin' trumpet, and I ask them- "What would you like to play?" And they just look at me with blank stares.

    One thing I learned about jam sets- Learn the book that the House Band Plays.

    Musically,
