A trumpet player myself, I love those bands. I even liked how Huey Lewis and The News used horns too.

Robert Cray used The Memphis Horns on a lot of his records.

Both of my sons play trumpet. They get their ability from their mom. I'm relying on them to play Taps at my funeral...no damn recorded music for me!

Introduced my youngest son to Frankie Valli's trumpet player after their concert NY Eve. I was the proud dad, he had just been named to All City band. One of the backup singers overheard me, and said "I know that town! They have a GREAT music program!"

I ordered a beer, toasting them with a Prosit Neujahr.. Their sax player starts talking to me in German, I found out he lived there nearly 20 years. Besides swapping stories about living in Germany, he told me about several name musicians he worked with. I probably bored him, as many of those musicians were in groups on my IPod. Lol
