| As a come back player, I could list 30 things; however, I'll select the most important 3 at this date and time.
1) G-d's protection
2) After having many maturing events in my life, they have given me a strong drive to succeed in my playing the trumpet thereby making my practice more fruitful, my performances/playing more meaningful and the others who hear me more appreciative which in turn gives me more joy that I've made other people happy.
3) Contact and making friends with other pros through forums such as these for learning, support, buying equipment, etc. Buying George Graham's flugel was a high point.
The results have been amazing for I have been playing in places and for occasions of great importance in our country with a variety of horns that I've never thought to own and with a technique (skill) and expression that way surpasses from what I had before.
