Retraction
OK-so the brass ensemble at MTSU was really lovely-truly. The surprising richness of the tuba is like snuggling up in a warm quilt on a cool evening. And those joyful trumpets-like clear, pure, mountain water tripping and gliding over cold, smooth stones. So big kid has his work cut out for him now that I know what a trumpet SHOULD sound like. At this stage of the game, I'm hearing gravel mud pies splatting up against a window. So maybe he can practice in the back yard-close to the woods. Winter's coming. So he better hurry up and start hitting a few good notes.

Having played the trumpet for 8+ years, I could have told you that wonderful sounds can emit from the instrument. It takes lots of practice (much like the piano does) to really make it sing. I actually miss having the ability and the opportunity to play now that I don't have the time.
