I am playing at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, Anaheim, and San Diego early in Feb...I thought you'd like to know that things are finally starting to go my way down here (o: How have you been?
Hey Brian, thanks for adding me....I had no idea you spent time in Eugene. I'm here in Eugene for the break, let me know if you are around and we can go get some coffee. I really enjoy your trumpet playing. best, Jeff
Hey Brian. I am good friends with Andrew and Doug and am currently applying at Uof0 for the jazz TA position that Doug is in right now. You should be getting my pre-lim cd and application soon. Love your music! hope to see you soon for auditions.
Kryl was off the hinges today. That might have been the single most emotionally exciting piece of music I have witnessed (I was literally out of breath by the end of it). Unfortunately, everything else in life now pales in comparison to that outstanding performance. so, now I'm not sure whether I should thank you or request an apology. at any rate, congratulations on blowing the minds of us young music schoolers.
It wasn't until I reached the Kansas boarder that I remembered, rather, was reminded of how much Jesus loves me, that abortions are sinful and hurt women and I should eat my weight in beef each week. It's comforting to be in a state where I'm reminded of these easy steps to authentic happiness and a death of assured tranquility (not to mention heart disease, child support and guilt-driven morals). Oh, I think I left my comedic sensibility in Oregon, would you mind overnighting that to me?
I'm disappointed. I don't get to see that mug of yours again for a while. I leave the morning of the day you get back. Let me know how you're doin old guy...it's bad that I talk to your wife every day but never hear anything from you.
all right, so I'm coming home from a gig on Saturday night, and listening to WFMU, and this show comes on called "inflatable squirrel carcass", and I'm like "sign me up, mug.", and then they play all this crazy stuff befitting the title, and I'm all like "asscrackers, this is some good music sarge" and then at 3 am, the pay off BRIAN MCWHORTER PLAYS BERIO TRUMPET SEQUENZA ON MODE RECORDS!. I went "werf?", listened, smiled real hard and went to bed.
I like very much your picture on the Pink Baby Monster page, you look like some kind of ultra-hip, bloodthirsty mobster, but slightly confused: "I am so gonna off this guy.....now where'd I leave my gun?"
Hey Brian. So I went to a masterclass with Mark Gould here at NEC the other day. He told us all to quit school. Nice. He also told everyone that you were a "heavy" and that "one day we'd hear about you". So you've got that to look forward to. Seeya.
