Hi Bruce. The clinic I attended was a band competition. The two best Stage Bands got to play a couple of songs in concert with Maynard's band that evening. Our's was one of them. I also saw him in Denver in 1986.
Cool that your son is playing trumpet, Bet your house is noisy! That's what I play, now just for my own personal pleasure and to make the Border Collie sing. You may know of these... I only found it a couple of years ago. Yamaha makes an electronic mute with headphones. When playing, there's little backpressure compared to a regular mute, and the sound through the headphones sounds like no mute is being used. Nice for late night practicing. Tom C.
