The news from Sandy about Don Gumpert is truly unhappy news. Damn!
I met Don years ago and I believe that I sat in with his band, probably in
St. Louis. I haven't seen him since but I never forgot his superb cornet
playing...hotter than hot.
I wonder about his doctors advice...to play as often and as hard as he
likes.
We hope that you are all right, Sandy. Keep us posted.
Take care, Don. Jim Beebe
