I'm a terrible trumpet player.

The trumpet is forceful.

I do a mean mouth trumpet.

I played the trumpet a bit like a porker, I think.

My uncle gave me a trumpet, but I loved the Louis Armstrong sound and the Harry James sound and I played by ear and I played always soulful or very direct from the gut.

I was inspired by my dad; he played trumpet in high school.

As long as I have teeth, I'll keep playing. You can't play trumpet without teeth.

So I had a couple of years of playing trumpet. I really enjoyed it, but it was not the kind of instrument you could whip out at a party. Let's face it.

When I started to play trumpet I was fortunate to learn very quickly.

I've always wanted a C trumpet on top, to have that same kind of facility without shouting.
