Lynn Nicholson - Happy Birthday

[BsNoMo]

Holy Shit.

[q1a2z3q4a5z6]

His neighbors must hate him.

I remember when I was in high school in the 70's I played for Cypress college at a football game. Lynn came and sat in with the trumpet section. I too was a trumpet player but also a drummer and got the call to play drumset, cuz they had no drummers that day. My trumpet buddy Scott sat next to Lynn up in the top of the bleachers. Hearing the National Anthem up an octave to double C freaked me out as I'm down in front rolling on my snare and looking up the bleachers in amazement,heh.

[ewtugmol18]

Is he the guy from back to the future? DOC?

[Nitrocide595]

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

No disrespect to the dead, but Maynard couldn't swipe the snot from Lynn's nose....

[Benisuber1]

@WhatTheFlyinFudge I wouldn't want to swipe the snot from anyone's nose.

[lobodeschabetado]

[MrHayabusaman]

The sound on this video dries your hair.............superb post

[hastyberford]

Badass! I remember seeing Lynn with Maynard in oh... about 1975. It was amazing.

[rmtoyama]

the snap off of his release is SAWEEEEEEEEEET!

[deaugustine123]

Awesome Lynn, great to see you again..........

[elitefighter]

WOW!!!

[PJMPercussion]

GREAT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[ThisIsAeroPlane]

sounds like electric trumpet

[rulyg80]

i was wondering what happened to this guy! Last I saw, he was on a 70's concert with Maynard Ferguson!

[GamingPrower]

You will be happy to know that my headphones actually gave in to the sound of your playing, i had to lower the volume half way so my headphones wouldnt make a high pitched noise from sound being too loud.

[nivram59]

GODDAMMM.....

[ThePianoSchool]

Disgustingly awesome.

[danielstar007]

I just took a lesson with lynn today

[i002492]

contraijd@Yeah, I was about six feet in front of Lynn in 1974 during Hey Jude. I played the drums in a concrete enclosure. He was WAY louder.  My ears were ringing for about 10 minutes! I'll write Lynn and ask him to chime in. Believe this or not, I don't think he realizes what a fan base he has.

[werehavinaparty]

Wow! I never thought I'd see Lynn play, other than old videos of Maynard's band. I've been such a big Maynard fan for 30+ years and I'll never forget seeing when Lynn first joined the band. How in the world this scrawney, skinny guy with long hair could possibly hit those notes with such power?? It was truly amazing to watch and hear. And, what's the odds that Maynard would find two leads guys named Lynn/Lin (Biviano)? Great talent Lynn!! Wish u were still playing.

[hubiedcaid]

I love Maynard back-fivin' you on that Mac Arthur Park clip. That music was such a big part of my growing up. I still play and am vicariously jealous that you had time on board his band, Lynn.

[MrPhatsound007]

Nice! Mr. Nicholson, Do you give lessons?

[doc2188]

What a talent !!!

[selector111]

I hope he sends this guy another video of him playing happy birthday only next time he has to do it an octave higher and even louder.

[edcontact]

Wow. He could fill a stadium with that sound!

[tyler2484]

I took a lesson from him a few weeks back. And believe me. He can lol.

[jjmb74]

SUPER...

[Skwas14]

I love you Lynn I'm 14 and you and Maynard are my inspiration. My dad and I always listen to maynards albums with you and Stan as lead trumpets. It's amazing!

[SAAMIAM99]

Thank you for posting what a real screamer sounds like. I can't stand the squeaky crap people post. I used to do that in high school before I realised ANYONE can do that. This takes some major chops.

[MarshallsWorld]

@SAAMIAM99 i couldn't agree with you more.

[MusiKLEE]

LYNN, I loved seeing you with Maynard way back whennnnn....  Love to hear more from you.

[rafitrumpet]

hey

from where i can buy this mouthpiese?

[ptreda]

True,Awesome,/but what happens aftera 2 hour intense rehearsal?

[kidfromredbank]

do you know who this is?

[jimbaughman1]

In college, playing in the trumpet section next to him, I saw him hold a double high C (very loudly) an hour or so into practice (him playing lead). He's the real deal.

[selector111]

I know he is pretty close to the mic but still that is so much power, he is probably one of the top 5-10 lead players I have ever heard, I turned the sound all the way down but not off and I could still hear it

[PUIncubus]

defn i think top 3 lead players Maynard Ever had... which is saying A LOT cuz Maynards last lead player Pat Hession was AMAAAAAAAAZING... practially maynard in another life.....

[selector111]

Hell yeah, in terms of what they could do pat lynn and scott englebright are probably my favorite, lol maybe not in tastefullness but hey its a trumpet what could we do, play pedal tones, yeah right. But yeah to many to name that are up there but lynn nicholson just stands out.

[Jamestrumpet]

Legend! Love this, thanks :)

[MamaMia1413]

yuou stink

[rotarychainsaw]

Holy crap!

[tyler2484]

Haha man that was awesome. Bet Chase and Maynard are looking down at this =D

[enlitened1234]

Zero pressure rght??? LOL!!!!! right.

[trogdordburninator]

F above Double C.

[rmtoyama]

[enlitened1234]

[larrymeregillano]

Lynn What are you doing? Why don't you record us a project so the World will know what a great musician that you are?

I"ll never forget your work with MF. I saw you live many times. You inspired me greatly!
