Additional Info:

I would not call myself a professional trumpet player in the typical sense. I studied with a man who many call the greatest cornet soloist of all time - James F. Burke. Thus, my background is in concert band with an emphasis on cornet soloing. While I do get work from time to time playing various styles of music - mostly church work, parade bands, some studio work, a bit of R&B, and the occasional television show - my profession is specialized. You see, I play the trumpet at horse racing tracks!! My job is to let the patrons know that the horses are coming out onto the race track by performing a short fanfare called "First Call". I have been doing this sort of work since 1987, performing this fanfare over 60,000 times at a record setting 50 race tracks in 26 states and Canada.
