Valued friends …………
I joined this trumpetherald on September 13, and trumpetmaster on October 16, of last year, and the brassforum on may 30, and trumpet chat on August 13 of this year. I joined these forums primarily because as a trumpet player and band director I wanted the opinions, and at times needed information, that some of you were able to share with me. For that information I thank you, but I have gotten something far more than information from this site!
Many people from the trumpet forums have become valued friends with whom I communicate often. I’ve been able to share playing jobs, e-mails, phone calls, pictures, sound clips, prayers and good thoughts with people whom I now consider friends. I even found an old friend from high school on the forums (that was from the 1970’s).
I look forward to looking at the posts on Trumpetherald, trumpetmaster, the brass forum, and trumpetchat every afternoon or evening. It has become kind of like checking in with friends to see who has stopped in for a chat.
What I’m trying to say is that I enjoy the information shared here, but I appreciate the friendships, and I hope to get to know even more of you as time goes on. Life is too short to not enjoy the friendship of as many people as possible. I value my friends more than I can express in words, and I thank you for the friendships I have gained through these forums.

I couldn't have said it better, my friend! (Bandman322)
Here's to all the wonderful people on all those sites! *holds up a glass of...some kind of liquid refreshment*
Cheers!

The info here is invaluable. As they say, old (trumpet) dogs can learn new (trumpet) tricks. This site is proof positive.

I do agree that these sites are great, and contain a wealth of information, but honestly I don't feel like I have made very close and valued friends. Sure I have made some buddies, but nothing more. (and no I am not saying this asking for pity. I am merely stating the truth.)

That makes me sad. I have found the people here to be great, I've had a tough year going through several surgeries. The notes and personal e-mails have made me feel so great, I even got a phone call from JCMACMAN when I was in the hospital last week. We had never spoken before and it meant so very much to me to feel his support.
Vivace, I hope that I can be the first to extend the hand of friendship to you. Maybe if I pass through Salt Lake City again this year (I did twice last year) I'll make an effort to make arrangements for us to share a meal together. Maybe you can show me some of the sights in Salt Lake City and we can get to know each other better. I would be more than happy to add another person to my list of freinds!

that would be great except I don't know much about Salt Lake (other than Temple Square). I live in Provo, which is about 45 minutes south. I am sure my brother knows some good spots since he lives near the city.

I am glad you are feeling better my friend. I had a smile all day after that phone call. You sounded so happy and alive.
take care.
