| Hello,
I'm Jason Simpson. I'm 39 years old and have been playing the horn for a whole eight weeks. I was born and raised and in Portland, OR. I moved back to NYC in my early twentties to pursue a career in Ballet. I lived in the lower east side for about six years, and that was definitly a real education after growing up in Oregon! I danced until I was 30 at which point they usually stick a fork in you and your're done. Currently, I'm back in Oregon going to Grad school in Physical Therapy. Why did I get into the horn? I've always loved music and have always enjoyed listening to great trumpet players. I also love the physical nature of playing the horn and it damn sure is a challenge! A lot like dancing really. Its a great feeling when you hit the center of the note and the horn just comes alive. So far I've really enjoyed using that part of my brain again, and interacting with artistic people again has been great as well. Gotta get to work, but I'll try to post again later.
