Hi Matt,

After high school I was playing guitar and trumpet in a rock/blues/soul band. I've always had asthma but it became severe when I was around 22. Back then the protocol was when having an attack to lay down and rest. Now we know that that was the worst thing one could do. It took me many years to get my lung capacity back to near normal and finally normal. Of course when I tried to play trumpet again my embouchure was so weak it was like starting all over again. Then I discovered wind controllers so no need to put in many hours of trumpet practice as my computer became my trumpet. Plus "my trumpet" can emulate all other instruments.

I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor.
It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
