| New Member/ First Post Hello Everybody-
I've been lurking around TM for a while and decided to introduce myself. My name is Kelly Rossum (male, by the way) and I'm a trumpet owner in Minneapolis, MN.
I was turned on to this site by Mr. Laureano sometime early last year. So far, I've enjoyed the attitude reflected on this site as compared to some of the other internet forum choices...
A quick history of my internet/trumpet use:
I was one of the first people involved with the TPIN listserve that Mike started out of Blair, NE. I was in Lincoln at the time studying with Denny Schneider (if you don't know his name, you should ask around...)
Well, after everyone figured out how to "flame" other people's opinions, (usually over this hot new french trumpet builder, Monet? Mounette?) I decided to bow out of the internet war of words and paractice.
Nowadays, I end up warming up on my mpc while checking in on the TM news of the day, lots of fun.
Thank you all for your time and posts.
-Kelly
ps I'll be in NY for the upcoming IAJE convention if anyone wants to say hi:)
