ENID, OK - When I was a kid living in Enid, Oklahoma, my dentist was Dr. Bryant. Little did I know then that he was actually a very talented trumpeter performing with such stars as Doc Severinsen and Tommy Newsom from the Tonight Show Band, Paul Guervero of the Woody Herman Band, Mike Vax and Don Joesph of the Stan Kenton Band and Jack Sperling of the Glenn Miller and Tex Beneke Bands.
