Unison Dubba Cs!

There once was a guy from PA,
Who played high and loud all the day,
His neighbor got mad,
Yelled, "Shut up you cad!"
Guy took his horn and went away.
He returned back home with a friend,
Who lived down the road round a bend,
They both played together,
As light as a feather,
The neighbor yelled, "This is the end!"
The neighbor came on bended knees,
Said, "I'm beggin' you, c'mon, PLEASE!"
The trumpeters turned round,
Said, "Time to throw down!"
And drilled out some loud DUBBA Cs!
A) My sister decided to do this in a series of haiku. She is the smart one in the family, and she has lots of extra time on her hands now that she cancelled her cable TV!
Dylan plays trumpet
to entertain the masses.
Music is his life.
He lives on a bus -
sometimes he sleeps on the floor.
On the road again!
All his days repeat
Like that movie, "Groundhog Day."
What does he deserve?
New, beautiful horn
from awesome Eclipse Trumpets
would bring him great joy!
Help my brother out!
He has sacrificed so much
for love of trumpets.

B) I think my most fantastic playing experience was playing for sold out crowds at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at the base of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The theater is really steep, when you look out from the stage all you see all the way up to the sky is a wall of people. It was great to be a part of the thousands of years of music that have been played there, and fun to play for thousands of people who were really having fun listening to the music. President Karolos Papoulias was in attendance!
