So I'm slowly but surely catching up on the blog world this week, along with everything else.  Two weeks of vacation receipts to go through takes a lot of time. 
In some sad news, one of my favorite musicians died last week.  When I was in the band at the University of Nebraska, the marching band trumpets followed Maynard's philosophy:  higher, faster, louder.  His album "Chameleon" is a favorite on my list, just because of the excitement and passion of his playing.  Now Maynard's leather lips don't blow any more, and that's a sad thing. 
If you're looking for one quintessential Maynard piece, try "La Fiesta" from the Chameleon album.  You won't be disappointed.
