Trumpet players that rock
I learned how to play the trumpet in my teenage years. I believe it leads to my appreciation of all music and its many different genres and styles. Whether it was playing music, listening to it being performed, or even writing about various artists or bands. Music has always had a special place in my heart and could feed into whatever emotion, mood, or experience. The trumpet is the most passionate, spirited, and driven of all the instruments, with an excellent range for reaching out and connecting with all of life's highs and lows. It takes a unique performer to tap into those aspects, and I would even say a great artist at that. We have lived in special and blessed times to have three such trumpet players with such qualities. I have seen all of them in concert and have met one of them after a superior performance. These three artists are Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, and Chris Botti.

For this to happen, it means the musician has to go all out on stage with the energy, dancing, and movement. That is a lot of adrenaline, and sometimes the adrenaline is too much that it sends the artiste tumbling.

Apologies to anyone who has lost a close loved one, it is a very difficult thing to come to terms with. “Keep Me In Your Heart For A While” is one of the most beautiful , heartbreaking songs that I have ever heard.
