My update... 191 this morning. I'm on track to get to 185 by Memorial Day. That will put my 5 year weight loss total at 86 pounds. That's pretty far short of what Mongo and Jim have accomplished, but I'm pretty pleased with it.

Speaking of Mongo and Jim... Updates?

Equipment:  Greg Black made John Blount Personal model mouthpiece, Callet Jazz 63xx trumpet --- played at a mediocre comeback level for 30 full minutes per month...
Favorite Maynard Tunes:  Gospel John, all the other ones
