Rogan here:

          I have said nothing brutal nor anything slanderous to any 
particular race, sex or gender. Although some cornet players seem to have their own 
race, but thats another story. I just like to express my feelings through a 
message board of people that may feel similarly. I happen to be familiar only with 
the East Coast jazz. I am not trying to write horrid things of West Coast jazz 
musicians, for all I know there may be wonderful trumpet players who play all 
day long and audiences who dont waste $20-30 on seeing Simon Wettenholl 
scrunch up his face and boast about how he needs a haircut.

          I know there are many of you who are dying to speak out about some 
weird jazzers and jazz ways of doing things. If you do, why not use this 
message board as you would a pillow if you have an anger management problem, thats 
what I do! No really, I love people and of course I love jazz. So lets not be 
slanderous and respect each others views, Goddammit!
