| Oh to be 35 again, 45, 55! Still at it though.
Lots of big news in the trumpet world lately. Charlie is retiring: I remember reading abut him in the Getzen Gazette when he played their horns and was principal in Milwaukee.
So many openings! What's really startling to me is an instrument company finally competing with Bach to challenge what so many of us feel has been the standard of the industry for so long. I could never imagine someone using another brand in the Chicago Symphony.
Mr. Vacchiano passing is the biggest news though.
