-I always enjoyed Erin's postings and regret the fact that they have stopped.
He was rude, offensive and often downright abusive (verbally)- but always
perceptive and often correct with regard to the point he was making. I for one
don't mind being called an idiot (or worse) by the best hot cornet player since
Wild Bill and/or Muggsy. As far as I know Ernie is still blowing. I miss his
comments.-
