Off in the distance, a trumpet can be heard amidst lifes woes... a horn, my horn, a Super 20 mimicks the notes of those who were and still are great trumpet players.

I was born in a small town near the Steel City in Western Pennsylvania and as soon as the baby bottle was taken from my mouth the story goes my dad stuck a trumpet there.... it was cheaper than feeding me. I studied under a great trumpet player named "Schultz", and played beside great trumpet players like Wilbur Winfield and Pierre Enrico. There were others too, not famous, but their names are here... I remember...Art Ferrara, Art Hess, Clark Irwin, Donnie King, Pasquale Condo, Tommy Deragotis, "Clutch" Opar, and truly a great trumpet player, Tommy Konesky.
