Ok, I have a treat for you jazz lovers out there.  Give a listen to this - Rob Gourlay, who grew up in St. Johnsbury and played with Bob (Dimick) in the Tank Band - doing a concert at Berkley School of Music in Boston.  Then check out this unusual technique Rob demonstrates - in what looks like a practice session perhaps with students. There are lots more clips of Rob - check them out.
