Hey bconroy,

Well actually, I was playing lead trumpet during Woody's last concert as band leader in Colorado. Billy Spencer took my place on the first "ghost band" after I left. Eric replaced Billy. Dan Miller was in there during the first couple of ghost bands under the direction of Frank Tiberi as well.

Woody went into the hospital shortly after the concert in Denver and never returned. I left in July 1987. Woody passed in October of the same year.

I'll try to think of a story or two. ;-)
