    A greatly underappreciated instrument in the hands of an immensely talented performer with an ensemble that does them justice. So glad I found this.

      Hi Daniel. We don't know each other but guess the reason for so many hits is you played this so meticulously and with care, you deserve all the attention. I must add the band was fantastic that night so I've no idea why the rest of my uploads equally haven't taken the same hits, but given time they might. Your band is simply outstanding.
      You should be very proud. If only I could play the Cornet again as I once did when young but alas the years have taken there toll & stepping away from the SA Band I once served in, has taken its toll. Shame really as when young I was quite good. Now I'm rubbish and could not blow a simple Hymn Tune with style, so I'm guessing the lesson is "Never let that talent slip". Take care my friend and stay safe.
