"I have known young Pearce since he was a lad. In an amazingly short time he has reached a high professional standard. How high I hear you ask? High enough that I gladly pay for his services in the John Miller Orchestra. He even joins the trombone jazz rat race in our version of the '2 O'Clock Jump' on 'bass 'bone. No mean feat. See you David, keep it up."
