Re: Trumpeter's Lullaby

I would play YOUR version of the lullaby. Being 65, I assume you've heard this piece (and played it) many times. If Rafael Mendez's version is what sticks out in your mind play with that. Play some of the diddlie-do's that he does but also play around with it. Make it your own piece as if you had written it (or as if someone has written it for you knowing what you can and can't do).

Have fun with it. It is a very fun and enjoyable piece. (it's also on smartmusic if you use it).
