Hi all,

My name is Jon and I'm in So. Calif. I'm a 60 year old comeback player that stopped playing in 1967 when I was in college! I have Chicago Benge #581 that originally belonged to Howard Davis of the NBC-Chicago Orchestra, Al Morgan Orchestra, leader of the Great Lakes Naval Station Band in WWII, etc. I've been lucky enough to talk to his former band mates, friends and daughter and even have recordings of him playing my trumpet in the late 1940s.

I really like reading the different forums and hearing about peoples experiences.

Take care, Jon
