After a while you learn there are very few sure things in this world. The team with the highest payroll and all-stars manning every position does not win the World Series every year. In fact, sometimes teams comprised of players who can be charitably described as nobodies even sweep them. Like they say, that's why you ...
Sean Jones: Gemini
by Paul Olson
The young Sean Jones has the kind of iron-lipped chops other trumpeters can only dream of.

The playing throughout is very much up ...
Ron Blake: Sonic Tonic
by Matt Cibula
