Actually, my main instrument is the flugelhorn.


"I wonder what they know that I don't."
Perhaps it's more of an issue they weren't able to realize their talent, or simply didn't have the talent, as you do.

I assume a four-valve rather than a three-valve.


I made my first dollar (actually, eight dollars) playing at a small lounge in St. Charles, Missouri in August of 1963.
