"Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name. Your way and my way seem to be one and the same. Mamma don't under stand it, she wants to know where I've been. I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to wanna pass that way again, but I could feel it..."
I caught one of his later concerts, when he wasn't as commanding on the heights as he was when he was younger. I really enjoyed it but I wondered what it would have sounded like a few decades earlier. I have most of his albums and find something in each one that makes me smile inside. I miss Maynard!
I was fortunate enough to have Maynard perform at my high school in '74. Will always remember how it felt to have the "clinic" prior to the concert and what I learned from that brief time. Whether you like him or not, he always made it clear that the performance was most important. As I went on to play professionally, I always remembered how important the performance was.
RIP Maynard and thank you for your appreciation and understanding how important music can be!
Learned to love Maynard way back in 1973. Bought MF Horn and MF Horn 2 that year and still own the LP's. Saw him in concert in 1974, 1976, and 1980. I was honored indeed. RIP Maynard.
one of my favorites -- we played this in High School 1979, 1980, 1981 -- our bass guitar player Mike Kelly and Drummer Mike Licata went on and perform professionally
@yachtzzuuup I'm right there with you our high school band played it about 83,84 .three went on to be professionals one was our trumpet player he's still gigging in the Austin texas area.
Sent chills down my spine to hear this again. My high school jazz band played this arrangement in 1975 and ended up going to the "Jazz in Jamaica" festival with it. I played trumpet and between myself and two others we managed to hit all but the highest notes right at the end.
I still have a copy of the LP MF Horn 2, signed by Maynard him self in 1973, somewhere. I better dig that out so I can listen to it again!
I first heard this recording when in high school and fell in love with it. I then had the privilege of performing with Maynard for a short stint in 1992. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had.
Saw MF live @ the Parmount in Seattle in 1978. Still blown away by his music. Wore out his "Primal Scream" LP. Hearing his music brings back such great memories....
Wow! I haven't heard this is WAY TOO LONG! I used to listen to this song regularly while getting ready in my college dorm room. One of my suitemates would frequently come over and say, "Hey, play that trumpet song you like to play so loud!" Great music . . . great memories! Thanks, Maynard.
This is an amazing James Taylor tune. To hear it being done be Maynard...Beyond epically awesome

Fan--Flippin-Tastic
Rest in Peace Maynard--I was privileged to see you in concert not long too long before you left us.
Great Tune here--I have worn my cassette out--this recording is only presently available on LP or cassette.
Great Music--great life.
Hope folks will remember me with similar fondness.
Thanks again Maynard.
God Bless.
