I haven't touched a trumpet for years. I wanted to play sax, but the band teacher wouldn't let me, so I played trumpet. After 9th grade I stopped. Picked up bass a few years back and loved it. Favorite tbing to play was funk and swing. Always so groovy and open to interpertation. I tried playing upright, but due to ~10 car accidents and a broken right arm from a bicycle accident, my nerves wouldn't let me play for more than 10 minutes. Only reason I don't play bass anymore is cause I have no o e to play with. Makes me sad actually. But, musicians have to stay strong and prosper! To all the musicians out there, never give up on your dream, regardless of what instrument you play!
