Tom,
Actually I just started to learn the trumpet about 4 months ago. In the Navy I made false teeth...well someone had to do it!!! I am undertaking the trumpet so I can play Taps (and other songs) at military funerals. I love it and will have to pick some brains on this site. I have never read music before and it is a challenge at my age for sure. But Tootsall did it at 52, so I believe I can do it also.
Luckily I have some great neighbors.
Great to be here,
Karen
