MacArthur Park--1974

Soaring beside Maynard back in the day. Thanks Maynard for everything...

Saw you back in the day with Maynard. Love your playing Lynn. Glad you still pick up the horn.

Im old drum corp soprano player, an will never get tired of wearing my cds out with maynard and lynn. Love nicholson. Miss Maynard the magnificent 👏👏👌👍

0:29 "Yes!" I love Maynard's reaction. It's awesome that he could be such a genuine cheerleader for another trumpet player playing in his domain.

This is my favorite performance of that solo! Love it!

Was there at Chaminade High School in Dayton, Ohio in 1974. Heard all the great stuff. I cried when Maynard played I Can't Get Started With You. I didn't know what hit me! Lynn, you were AWESOME and still are! All the best and thank YOU! Randy Villars, long-time

This is Great Lynn, this is my favorite version of your Mac Park solo.

[GaryBadger]

I always gravitate back to this, to remind myself of its kick-ass brilliance. I love hearing the audience reaction at around the 0:11 mark. Had I been there in the audience I'd have missed the moments that followed, having drowned it out with my own excited cheering.

[frankmorton]

never get tired of listening to Maynard and Lynn. 🎺👍

Thanks for sharing this post. How you figured out all the mechanics of the upper register on trumpet at such an early age is unique. You have a Musk mind for upper register playing on trumpet. Keep posting. Your thoughts are important.

Who created that cool drawing? That is GREAT!

[ripleystreet]

If you ever made your own band could I join it?

[russellstraight]

Curious, wondered if you still perform?

[mossimmo]

Did you quit performing because there is lack of opportunity for trumpet players in the music business or because your passion for performing is no longer there. You once said that you had played everything on trumpet that you wanted to play and that`s why you quit but when I hear you play you seem to have the same passion for playing you always had.

[christianlinares]

This was performed a half step above the original?

[lancegoerner]

Man, when you hit a wrong note, you play it with convection!

[outrageousalan]

Hitting high notes on a trumpet doesn't necessarily make you a good trumpet player.
