[TPIN] "Now why don't he write?"

I nearly died laughing when I read this.

A looong time ago when I went to a lesson in college, my trumpet instructor
mentioned that Maynard did not use pressure - a which point, I asked him 
what
he had been smoking recently.

But my professor, in his proper professorial stentorian tones, respectfully 
disagreed.

Next lesson, I walked in without saying a word and showed him the back of
the M. F. Horn 3 album cover, where Maynard practically has his mouthpiece
pushed all the way to the back of his neck.

He just ROARED with laughter!!
