      Merry Christmas everybody, i was able to play a little trumpet at church this Christmas so I thought I would share. Hoping next Christmas comes with more live music (&trumpets) than we've seen in years. Trumpet starts at 34:30, o holy night & joy to the world.

        Really nice playing! Loved it. I kind of know the area a little bit. We have a second house in Boise Idaho. This is Eagle, Idaho I am guessing right? Unfortunately we have not gotten out there for quite a while now because of COVID.

          Thanks! Yes Eagle Idaho, just down the road from Boise. Hopefully you'll be able to get back out here sooner than later.

            Great work. I've always loved your tone. What horn were you playing ?

                I thought it might have been a c trumpet. Good for church music for sure. Especially where guitars are playing, too.

                  Yes I've also always thought the sound of a C trumpet is very Christmas-y

                    It seemed to fit perfectly. Very clean delivery on your part. Very.

                    Do you have a brass ensemble there? If so, message me.

                      Nice work aTrumpetdude.

                      I too played a performance I was hired to perform through our local musician's union 101-473 of the American Federation of Musicians at the Troy First Lutheran Church. Sorry I do not have a recording to post, but of interest, in the now 3 years I have been hired to play this performance, I have always tried to get "A Child is Born" by Thad Jones on the program, but to my dismay, without approval by the organist or the pastor. But this year, we had a new organist, more progressive in terms of Lutheran lore, and she took the bait and let me perform "A Child is Born" as a solo. Oh how it resonated within the high arches of the church. And while it may have broken with Lutheran tradition, the German Pastor loved it, and perhaps, just perhaps, "A Child is Born" by Thad Jones will be a new Lutheran tradition... Well at least in Troy Ohio!

                        By the way, here is the actual recording with the score attached for anyone that would like to try to keep this "tradition" going.
