Hi-
My daughter Amy Barrett(currently at PiusXI) was accepted to Miami and really wants to go. She has received no financial aid from Miami. Without aid, she will have to go to UWGB or similarly small school. Do you have any suggestions?

Hope all's good with you. Thought you might like to know that I finally got in touch with Mr Hammond about ordering a mouthpiece - hopefully it'll make me sound like you!!

Take it easy and keep hugging it out!

Hi, Augie! Now that the dust has settled a bit, I wanted to get back to you and tell you (again) how much we loved having you as part of Colleen's wedding celebration. We have had nothing but fabulous comments re: the quality of music, and everyone LOVED your trumpet : ) It was a special bonus to have Megan as your guest. Hope all is well and you are playing your little heart out!

Love,
~Ma Nelson


08.18.07 | Mark McLaughlin
Hi -
Just writing to say "Hi" and let you know I just listened (and am still listening) to you and your brass partner. I love it! This is the type of jazz to which I'm addicted and to hear it played with crystal clarity and such mellow smooth-ness is a genuine treat.
Fantastic!
And, yes, I am related to John McLaughlin, who did your case. I am his very proud father.
It was through John that I was introduced to you and the Southern 9 Ensemble, so, obviously, I had to look up your web stie and say hello.
BTW: Where did the title "The Llama" come from?
None of my business, actually, but as a writer and former journalist, I get curious about things such as this. OK, OK - so I"m nosey.
Take care and be good to yourself...
mark


08.07.07 | Jeremy Pape
Hey. It was great seeing you the other night. I still want a copy of that DVD. Hope all is well.

07.08.07 | John Scripp
Augie, didn't get a chance to catch up with you this fourth of july, but from the looks of the site all is going well. Finally got a chance to listen to everything, impressie as I knew it would be, good luck the rest of the summer and beyond


06.23.07 | Scott Hanson
Augie, I never could have guessed that the little boy who sat next to me on the piano bench at your mother's Christmas party would grow up to become such an outstanding musician! Great trumpet sound. Keep up the fine work.


05.28.07 | Brad Thorson
I want to appologize for not taking you 100% seriously last night at George Webbs. You made it a quality atmosphere and I feel inclined to dabble in your music. Have a good day sir.


05.28.07 | Nate O
Hey bro I'm glad you got a site, I linked it to mine just so you know. Keep up the awesome trumpet, sorry about not getting the Gordan Goodwin thing, A guy who is going to be my teacher in the fall won the bass/guitar category. I have just been working on school and bass and now it's summer and I need a job. Gigs aren't enough yet. and maybe never in Utah ;) ecept for the very top cats. Anyways do you have a myspace? let me know, take her easy bro.

Looking forward to your next performance in Milwaukee. Mary H

Hey Augie: Thanks for taking your gifting seriously and blessing the world with your horn. Sorry the other cat took Week #7. Unfortunately, it's a popularity contest.

Augie,
I remember the first time I heard you play in your front parlor. I knew then, as I told your mom and you, that you were going to be a star...and you are!!!!!! Miss you! Can't wait to attend a concert. Also, I will never forget your solo for my dad's 80th birthday. Who says somebody with Alzheimer's shouldn't enjoy beautiful music? Love your website!

03.28.07 | Javier Arguello
Hey I saw you play a few weeks ago with the University of Miami Concert Jazz Band and your lead work was amazing. I was blown away. I would like to know if there is anyway to contact the bass player Eric England from the CJB. I'm a bass player in high school and I want to keep in touch with him since he's a monster of a bass player.
