Thanks to C. Scott Smith I have some background on a picture that I own, of John Lennon tooting on a horn.

That horn was originally owned by one of my former teachers: Neill Sanders who is the horn player who performed and helped organize the for horns for Sgt. Peppers.

The second owner was former wife of Douglas Campbell (one of my teachers for many years), Ellen Campbell. Dr. Campbell and Neill were best friends.

That Paxman T1 is now in my possession – about one year after Ellen’s death. I first played it in the late 70’s during grad work while at MSU. It is a great solo horn. The ascending third valve makes life much easier in many cases.
