Dear Harry:

Spopt on. Randy Reinhart is one of the finest cornetists playing OKOM  
these days. SIMPLY SUPERB.

He also dabbles in trombone and reeds when the mood strikes him. He  
played trombone for a while with Jim Cullums jazz band in San Antonio  
several decades ago, then left and concentrated on Cornet, free  
lancing all over the USA and Europe.

I fondly remember a time that he was in the front line on cornet, with  
me on clarinet and Pete Pepke on trombone. We were playing Tin Roof  
Blues.

Piano took first solo, then Randy on cornet, then Pepke handed him his  
trombone and he took a chorus on trombone, then I handed him my  
clarinet and he took a chorus on clarinet.

Fantastic.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
