Re: Peter Erskine with Maynard Ferguson

The first time I ever saw Erskine was when I was a freshman in High School on a band trip to Dallas. He was with Maynard and, as luck would have it, I bumped into him after the show. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He took time to answer all of my stupid 15 year old questions, and gave me a quick lesson and fixed a few technique problems I was having. The 15 minutes that I spent with him had a profound influence on my life because he didn't treat me like a stupid 15 year old kid. What a great guy!!!


Great story. He was super, super nice when I met him, too.
