     The warmth of his sound____ 
    Lingers so long_____ 
    I'm sure he's still around. 

    For those who hear___ 
    They repeat him yet,__ 
    So those who heard__ 
    Won't forget.________ 

    The sound of each phrase___ 
    Echoes the time uncountable
    by days__________ 

    The things he played,_____ 
    Are with us now.________ 
    And there__ endures___ 
    your time allowed, _______

    Oh yes , I remember Clifford, I seem to always
    feel him near somehow ______________ 

    Everytime I hear his lovely tone,
    In every trumpet sound that has 
    a beauty all its own_______ 

    So how can we say ________ 
    Someone so real, __________ 
    Has really gone away, ______ 

    I hear him now, _______ 
    And always will _______ 
    Believe me I remember 
    Clifford still. ___________ 

    I know he'll never be forgotton 
    He was a king___uncrowned. 
    I know I'll always___ 
    Remember Clifford Brown

Mission Statement
This page is dedicated to the memory of these dedicated musicians, Henry "Red" Allen, Don Byas, and William " Bill" Coleman. In separated circumstance, each of them encouraged our band of  high school teenagers to dream, and then challenged us to become musicians. Several of our group did become professionals. Thanks, guys!
