   Yeah, I Miss Steve, too.  I will not forget that day we learned of his 
untimely death.
    What a fine trumpet player and a great guy.  Charlie, you and I had a lot 
of  great musical moments with Steve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But my own favorite Bud Herseth story (and I didn't see this, but Steve 
Jensen did and could barely repeat it from laughing) concerns the time when, 
during an especially quiet and moving passage, the entire orchestra down at 
ppp., Herseth's cup mute somehow fell to the floor and began to roll.&nbsp; Now 
the stage at Orchestra Hall (as it was then called) slants a bit toward the 
audience, and the roll just kept on going, seeming to last forever.&nbsp; When it 
finally stopped, Herseth got out of his seat and retrieved it, quietly 
returned to his chair, and carefully placed the offending mute on his 
DESKMATE'S stand. 
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jensen said he heard at least one little old lady at intermission 
remarking how "Wasn't it nice of Mr. Herseth to go and get that mute for his 
friend...?"</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jensen's own favorite was of his having encountered Herseth in a super 
market parking lot and, seeing his idol in the flesh and just HAVING to do 
SOMETHING to prolong the moment, called out foolishly, "Mr. Herseth!&nbsp; Mr. 
Herseth!&nbsp; I'm a trumpet player!"&nbsp; And Bud, already pulling away in his car, 
called out the window, "Practice, my boy! Practice...!" 
 
I miss Steve Jensen.
