It related (quite horribly and graphically) the story of a
'screech' trumpet player who enjoyed a long career until one day,
during performance of a jazz work; he hit a particularly high note
and one side of his head actually exploded outward from the
pressure, killing him instantly. (No, I don't think anyone caught
his horn for him)
Just reposted because I really like this story. I wanted to make sure
everyone saw it.
Sincerely,
Wendell Rider
