Not realizing there was a "Comeback Player" forum, I originally posted this in The Lounge.
Last night, for the first time in 30 years, I took a trumpet out of the house to play with a group. I am a comeback player, having put down my horn in 1973 (well, actually took it to a pawnshop). I got into buying and selling horns on Ebay, and finally a couple of months ago, started actually playing again. My range and endurance are still quite limited, but my tone is good...I figure the other things will come with time. My wife, who is from Colombia, knew some people with a Salsa/Cumbia/Merengue band who were looking for a horn player. We have no written music, I have to play by ear, but after a few times through a song, I begin to get into it. It is a blast, and we will be playing for a rather large audience on 20 July, Colombia's Independence day. I am really looking forward to it and it is excellent motivation to practice. _________________ I once had it, but I lost it. Where did it go???
Still looking for my horn... |

Flush the Corona out of your horn after the gigs, and practicd will go well. _________________ Felton (Butch) Bohannon |

Yes, it is a lot of fun, but it was only Budweiser.
