This past weekend I had the opportunity to listen to, as well as play trumpet ensembles with a 16-year-old girl from Central Florida. She played circles around me and had a fantastic sound. Her sight reading was superb and her range was at least to G above high C. Trumpet playing is no longer just a boy’s sport.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the talented teenage trumpet player is Dr. Mark’s Daughter.
I heard Anthony Roth Constanza, countertenor, on NPR today. Fantastic voice.

Frampton Alive was one of my favorite albums in the mid to late 70’s. He was and is a great musician!
@Dr-Mark
I’ll see your Australian Guitarist and raise you one Serbian Blues Singer / Guitarist.

Thanks George. I hope you are doing well.
I found these two outstanding, yet contrasting, versions of “A Closer Walk With Thee” and was thinking of placing them in the Non Trumpet Music category, but, although Trumpet is not the main feature, there is enough Trumpet probably to disqualify it. So, here it is in its own category. The first version was recorded in 1970 and the second version in 2011.
