surely the day will come for us all that the old trumpet will just become a little too much for us. when that day arrives,be a good friend to yourself:let it go;get yourself one of those sweet sounding alto horns or simular and embark on a brand new venture,loads of fun still to be had.you won`t have to wear yourself out on those"tuff axes" any longer.and you`ll last longer in "playing years". there were some great performers who,sad to say,did`nt take on to such wisdom .
