Hi Walt and everyone!

First Walt, on this Thanksgiving Day weekend, and holiday season, I am truly thankful for a lifetime of friendship, all the crazy times, and the fantastic trumpet lessons, getting me on the right path!

You and Maynard have both been heroes of mine, and the time you spent with me as a student, and then playing some shows, gigs, with you was just a great highlight. You are the man!!!

On another very cool note, we just hit a milestone, over 10,000 plays on our myspace page!

Our new CD, "The Mayn Thing", a tribute to Maynard Ferguson and more is selling like crazy, getting tons of airplay, and really taking off everywhere.

We are doing well nationally and a ton in Europe, England in particular, and our digital sales on places like iTunes has been great too.

Lot's of great comments and reviews. We are truly thankful for all this, our families, friends, fans, and wishing all of you a wonderful and very happy Thanksgiving Day and wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,

A big thanks to all my friends... I just went over 10,000 listens on my player. I've added a fifth tune to my player, an arrangement of Scott Henderson's "Harpoon", the leader and guitar player of Tribal Tech.

Best wishes,

Steve

Walt,

Thank you for the nice comment. I really enjoyed your interview on Jazz Player Radio sometime back...

Love your chops, jealous of your chops, mad at my chops, it's all about the chops!

Thanks man,

Hi Walt!

Really love your playing. I have had the Trumpet Scroll record for many years, and still I play it often :)

In a couple of weeks I will play an Elvis show here in Norway. We do a replica of the Madison Square garden concert. Really looking forward to it.

Best regards from Norway! Rune Aleksandersen

Hi Walt!

You are the man, such a great and truly versatile player as your new CD shows a whole other dimension to your artistry on top of some of the already legendary exciting high chops, you just never cease to amaze me and the whole music world, love it!

As you know, you are the guy I credit and really owe my inspiration and growth to and I will never forget how you let Chris and I hang with you and get some lessons as we followed you everywhere, lol...

Things are going great for the band and we are working on a new project, I can hardly wait to hang again sometime.

Take care,

Hi Walt, Hope things are good with you, are you in Mexico yet? Drop me line when you get chance, it'd be great to catch up.

Hope to see you soon (any rumours?)

All the best

Walt-

It looks so inviting to be in Mexico right now. You're trumpet is so warm. You sound great as always.
