Getting to play both Keith's and Dan's horns in Vegas last year was a =
real
treat... I absolutely enjoyed it. If I had the cash and could justify =
the
purchase, I'd get an entire family of horns as made by Steve Fox. They =
were
that good.

Alas, my money is much more appropriately spent on my recording =
business.
Sigh...
