Men of Note Are Bowing Out

A nice article in the Lexington Herald-Leader: Men of Note are bowing out

I'll always remember the fun times I had playing with The Men of Note. My first gig with them was in 1976. Phil Collier was the lead alto sax player and we were both members of the University of Kentucky Jazz Ensemble. He recommended me to the band to play the 2nd tenor sax book. I enjoyed many gigs with them over the years. I remember that first gig in Frankfort like it was yesterday. That gig payed $30.
