Pity.  25 years ago there sure was a Maynard Ferguson Band--and one helluva
band it was!  Andy MacIntosh on lead alto and circular breathing, an 18 year
old kid who looked (and sounded) in his forties--Mike Vax can probably name
all the guys, and I could at one time.   Alas, at 74 have trouble
remembering my own name.
