Hey Bruce, thanks for the profile on Ron Miles. I hardly knew much of him, though I may have seen him perform with Bill Frisell back in the 90s.

You are welcome, Ben. I also was mostly unfamiliar, altho' I've loved that "Egg Radio" track for years, but didn't realize that the trumpeter was Ron Miles.
