Short email today as my rendezvous with my pillow draweth nigh.
I just released a new episode of the Trumpet Dynamics podcast today featuring the great Lynn Nicholson. I reached out to Lynn to do an interview after seeing him rather tastefully (depending on your tastes) decorate the U.S. Marine Band
performing the Stars and Stripes Forever.
Lynn said he doesn't do that many interviews, but after some cajoling and minor bribery, he agreed to join me on a Zoom call, and it turned out to be a great interview.
In addition to talking about how to "Weird Al" style poke fun of established
music, we discussed how a great master of the instrument was a Zen master in his own right, why music today has lost some of the humanity that once existed in the 70's, why Lynn stepped away from the Vegas scene nearly 30 years ago and remains a mere "enthusiast" and much more!
(If I could play half as well as he does as an "enthusiast", I would say I'm pretty "enthusiastic" ;)
Here's the link to take a listen if you're so inclined.
