Gilles Villeneuve

Hi, did you know that the great car racer from canada was also a passionate trumpet player

Born in Chambly, Que., Jan. 18, 1950, Villeneuve and his family moved to Berthierville when he was eight. His father, Seville, was a travelling piano tuner, and Gilles' first passion was music. He would practise his trumpet five or six hours a day.

Re: Gilles Villeneuve

Also I would like to discuss about other great people from different fields that played trumpet. For eg other sportsmen, politicians, actors etc etc

I heard that another car racer Kimi Raikkonen also plays trumpet, but I didnt find any official info on that

Also actors Stephen Rea and Andy Garcia
