That looks so realistic, it could be a Big Dub painting! Where is that, Scotland or England?

We Don’t Talk About Bruno
On April 27, I played in a six piece band backing up the Lake Nona Arts Choir, a community based choir in Orlando, FL. It was a great experience for me as a comeback player who in December went through extensive open heart surgery. The ensemble performed 14 numbers. The following link is our performance of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, from Disney’s “Encanto”.

A great trumpet is 'a thing of beauty, an extension of you'
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Columnist, Neil Steinberg, “A great trumpet is 'a thing of beauty, an extension of you'” The Chicago Sun-Times has published a fascinating, well written article, which takes a look inside the Conn- Selmer Company, trying to re-create the world's best, and most legendary trumpets. As a sample, the article quotes John Hagstrom, who says in the discussion of what constitutes a great instrument. “It’s the difference between a racing bike and a three-speed Schwinn,” said Hagstrom, who owns hundreds of trumpets and plays about a dozen regularly. “Lots of trumpets play well, but are not good compliments to the texture of an orchestra. A great instrument is a thing of beauty, an extension of you, of your voice. That’s really intoxicating. In the broadest sense, the trumpet is beautiful. It represents someone’s thoughtful solution to a struggle that is harder than it looks — a carefully balanced piece of tubing that makes possible your musical envisioning.”
