[Dixielandjazz] our trumpeter

[Jim Kashishian]

Our trumpeter for the last 38 years, Pepe Nuñez, had a brain hemorage last
week and did not pull through it.  The funeral was yesterday. I will miss
his big trumpet sound and the easy banter he & I in particular shared on and
off the stage.  His just over 5 foot stature alongside of my 6 foot plus
height was always a crowd pleaser & we both played up to it as much as
possible.  Maybe he was short, but he was taller than most as a caring human
being.  Pepe was 81 years old and our last gig together was just two weeks
ago.
