"What inspired you to become a musician?" with 17 trumpeters // Episode 4 of 15

[@popslatimer]

My older brother playing trombone fascinated me with music. I started playing trumpet at 9-10 years old and after only playing for about a month was called on by the director at a parent concert to play “We Three Kings” a cappella. I had played it once before and he had me play it by memory. I nailed it and was hooked and have been playing for 54 years now. Love all of your posts!

Whaaaaat?! Lessie Vonner, me too!! I read Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White in third grade, too, and that's why I play the trumpet. Too funny!
