      I recently "discovered" Earth, Wind & Fire. I mean, I got my degree in trumpet performance, so I was aware of them, but never really listened to their music.

      Now I'm addicted. It's incredible stuff. My favorite songs:

      September
      Let's Groove
      I'll Write a Song for You
      Beijo (Interlude)

      1970 Selmer Paris Radial
      1927 Conn 2B

        Oh, yes, a great band with some very good trumpet players over the years, especially Johnny Graham in the 70s and early 80s. Not sure who the current trumpet lead is, but could be Bobby Burns Jr.

        I like SEPTEMBER, too. The rhythm is infectious.

          "September" is one of my all-time feel-good songs.

          For the musical historians (harrumph) out there, the soundtrack to the Blaxploitation film "Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Sont was E,W&F before they were E,W&F. Very raw.

          Yamaha 8310Z
          Benge 3X LA
          Weibster Cornet
          Adams F-1 Flugelhorn

          "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn."
          Charlie Parker

          "Even if I could play like Wynton Marsalis, I wouldn't play like Wynton Marsalis."
