Profile Information

- Playing Level:
- Semi-pro
- My preferred equipment:
- Factory-built stock instrument, Stock horn w/minor improvements, Modified/Custom Horn
- I started playing trumpet:
- September 1, 1971
- My most memorable trumpet experience:
- 1= Hearing my trumpet instructor, Michael Denovchek of the Cincinnati Symphony for 37+ years, play at lessons for 6 years until his passing in '79. 2= Meeting and chatting with Doc Severinsen after a concert with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Wonderful man & fantastic player. 3 = My college years at EKU sitting next to the always amazing (and now famous) Amy Gilreath + jazz band with Kenny Kerth wailing on the high notes and talking about LSU!; 4= attending a Maurice Andre concert in Lexington, KY around 1983 - he didn't miss 1 note all night and was amazing! His legato tonguing was so smooth, it was like instant tone without any attack at all. Sounded like dripping ice cream.
- Musicians who have inspired me...
- Trumpet heroes: Michael Denovchek, Rick Braun, Phil Driscoll, MF, Arturo Sandoval, Al Vizzutti, Jeff Tyzik, Doc Severinsen, Chuck Mangione and countless other trumpeters as well as musicians that don't play trumpet...
- About Me:
- I've been playing trumpet now for over 40 years. I think everyone has gifts and talents in life and I'm glad that one of mine is playing music. I am thankful for this gift and don't ever want to bury it or ignore it. I enjoy playing all types of music, but always desire it to be something that magnifies God because most of my best moments in life have involved worshiping Him. I hope that my music can help others draw closer to Him too.
* My main equipment: Adams A4 LT - S Shepherd's Crook trumpet with red brass 5.5" bell, Adams F1 flugel + mouthpieces = Yamaha 14 B4 GP, Horn Trader HT trumpet (various models), Curry 3FLD, and Brasswind Research 3E+.
- Interests:
- Beside what I've already stated... music, cars, music in cars... I like fine Swiss watches too and scooters (with motors)!
- Heroes:
- Ultimate hero = Jesus. Other heroes: my dad, every US soldier.
- Hope to find___________ in Trumpet City...
- trumpet friends

if thats you on Great us the Lord and Funny Valentine and you call yourself a complete Hack then maybe its time for me to give up the trumpet. Praise the Lord Bro. Loved your profile. Do check out my blog. I have devotions put in there almost everyday and currently have two articles on trumpet and Jazz. Love the look of your horns. Keep in touch

Yep, I'm the one. Glad to see you're doing well and still at it. We're looking forward to our chance in the Swamp this weekend. If our D-Linemen could keep from being quoted in the paper it might help.
I'm still trying to play some high notes. Some nights they are higher than others, but I'm staying pretty busy.

what program do you use for the background of your songs? Listening to you has made me want to try and record some tracks.

Hope you enjoy.

I have been collecting and using Aebersold material for a long time. I have Miles, two Dukes, Hubbard, Jobim, Body and Soul, Aebersold 1, 2, and 3 and Clifford brown which was taken of their list. Glad I bought that. I guess I have got to learn to program a keyboard for the rest.
Thanks
