Anyone know who Chuck Mangione is? Great musician, and even starred in King Of the Hill

I started one of those Weblog diarys pretending to be him, and now there are alot of people thinking I am Chuck Mangione. People IM me asking for trumpeter advice. Should I continue if I am having so much fun writing entries? Is there some law against this?

Heres the site:

Funny stuff if you read it.

Chuck Mangione is a jazz musician and flugelhorn player of major proportions. He was very popular in the jazz circuits sometime back. (A flugelhorn is an "updo" trumpet similar to the kind Dizzy Gillespie played.)

See www.chuckmangione.com for more info.

Chuck is OK. I'm not a huge fan, but he gets a nice sound out of that thing. Got to mix front-of-house for him a few years ago in Tarrytown, NY- I was very happy to find that he preferred the Shure SM58 for the flugel- it's a great mic for brass. I'll often recommend it and get sneered at because it's not an expensive mic... some musicians really shouldn't waste energy thinking about technical stuff... Roll Eyes

He really knows how to work with it, too- i didn't have to fuss with anything to make it smooth. Now that I think of it, I was doing monitors from the FOH console also- tight budget on that one... LOL. But he and his band packed the place, and everybody left smiling.
Also not a prima-donna by any means. Nice guy. But I can't guarantee he won't sue you blind... Cheesy

And I'm not a name-dropper.
No, really.
