| Greetings and salutations
I'm new to this list, having heard about it in a roundabout way fooling around with my new high speed connection (goodbye dial up!)
I'm 52, a trumpet player living and working in Chicago, and I teach at a school that specializes in giving away free stuff to kids, the Merit School of Music. Barbara Butler was my teacher at Eastman, and I have been a free-lancer in the Chicago area for years, doing jazz, classical, shows, blues, klezmer, whatever there's a paycheck for. Teaching has taken up more of my time lately. I recognize some of the names around here, Steve Burns is a colleague, Wilmer Wise used to post on the apparently defunct aol trumpet boards, Luis Loubriel who someone mentioned I used to work with, he replaced me as trumept teacher at the Sherwood Conservatory in Chicago. So greetings to all, I hope to participate in the discussions going on.
