We quickly struck up a routine which Hall until the concert was over and then they’d go home or out we held for my entire tenure with the CSO. I was always very with Bud and others to Miller’s Pub or whatever watering hole that anxious to know everything there was to know about orchestral struck their fancy. when my father became a member of the CSO Brass Quintet. My After the mid 1970’s I moved to Los Angeles and didn’t see trumpet playing and Bud was a natural story teller so it worked out By the time I was about 5 or 6, I started to become aware of father had the perfect basement to rehearse in, so that’s where a Bud much until he spoke at my father’s memorial concert at quite nicely for both of us. Somewhere in the archives there is a who most of the people that frequented the parties my parents lot of the quintet rehearsals would take place. I remember lying in Northwestern in 2007. I was so grateful for all the wonderful wonderful old picture of Bud sitting in front of his locker smoking gave were. They would usually include CSO brass players and bed with the sound of the Ewald Brass Quintet wafting through the things he said about my dad and I will always remember those days his pipe with a very animated Dick Oldberg telling a story. That’s other friends and colleagues who were connected to music in floorboards, soothing me to sleep. Or when they were preparing for when Bud, my father and the rest of the CSO brass section were the way it was. Bud was holding court and if you were lucky some way. But from a very early age, I was in awe of Mr. Herseth. the Gabrielli recordings in Philadelphia, they played through the the finest in the world. And for my money, Bud Herseth was the enough to be in his company you most likely learned something He had a reputation I was already aware of, even at 6 years old! parts in our basement.

Everything I know about orchestral trumpet playing I learned remember it, it was perfection. Not one mistake, not even a chipped days and one of the best things about it was getting to hear Bud I am so glad that I got to speak with Bud a couple of times over from Bud. Even to this day, I will finish a performance of note! It was a performance I never forgot, but his sound was what play in that setting. No audience, no critics, no pressure. It was a the past year. We talked about my father and shared a few laughs something I played countless times with him and I’ll think of him stuck with me more than anything. place where he could be totally relaxed and in a comfort zone that about the old CSO days. It brought back some wonderful memories or I’ll remember an exact performance from those days. Through Around that time my father was promoted to second trumpet absolutely dazzled me. That sound! I’ve never heard a sound like it for me and I sensed it did for Bud as well. That was a golden age our countless conversations on the subject of orchestral trumpet and would occupy the seat right next to Bud for approximately since and I wonder if I ever will again. It completely captivated me for the Chicago Symphony brass section and sometimes I feel like coupled with sitting next to him watching and listening to him the next 15 years.
