[Trombone-l] Coffee talk...

[Wayne Dyess]

Absolutely in agreement with Bill on his answer.  You ALWAYS want to  
play with musicians better than you.  Lord knows, I've always put  
myself into that circle.  And I've always come out of it a better  
musician.

I agree with Bill.  ALWAYS surround yourself with great players.

And hope you get to play!
