The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.
I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.
I practice every day. I've been doing it since I was eight.
I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.
I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.
I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.
