LETTER TO A YOUNG ARTIST           10th March 2012

Music: Dan Fox Trombone. John Fox Accordean

Tune “HOT JAMBOREE”.

I wanted to start with that because it is the first tune WSI used and because I love playing with Dan. Its is a kind of symbol because part of my theme tonight is about the importance of our legacy and how much generations learn from each other. I learn a lot from Dan. He just taught me the middle part of the tune.

Anyway Hello. Thank you for inviting me and for the excellent dinner. Pete Gunson kindly suggested that I might to write a Letter to a Young Artist.

But how old is young?

I reckon there are a few folk here within knife throwing distance of a bus pass.

And how young is old?
