A family of talent

Mike Herriott's back in town to play a gig.

He truly is a talented trumpet player who has made a name for himself internationally. Your humble e-scribbler played in a band with Mike more than a few years ago. Mike was one of several talented trumpet guys - talented to the point of being intimidating; talented to the point of generating a bunch of ongoing "mine is bigger" kinda healthy competition - so it's no surprise that each them has gone on to acclaim in the musical realm.

Mike comes from a talented family, too. His brother Richard is an accomplished pianist.

Another brother - Chuck - is an exceptionally creative local actor.
