| What was my day like.......
Well, Saturday at rehearsal, the music director at the church I was playing for found out that they needed a trumpet player for the sunrise service. So, looking for all the playing I can get, I agreed.
Therefore, I woke up at 4:45 this morning and somehow warmed up. In addition to this surprise, I did it without waking any of the members of my family, including my grandparents who were in town. On the way out I looked at the weather channel, "Wind Chill - 27." So I played a rendition of Jesus Christ Has Risen, after sitting outside in a park on a windy 27 degree morning for 40 minutes then picking up my horn and not being able to play a single note.
This suffering was soon relieved when I was able to play 2 more services....inside....with an awesome doctoral student. I love playing with people who are better than me.
This was my first playing Easter, and hopefully not near the last.
