In 5th grade, I started to play the trumpet. I ended high school playing the Baritone. As an adolocent, I never had to be told to practice. Why? I had found my passion, my voice, and my people. This video reminds me of the common bond we shared as we collectively worked together to make music. It didn’t matter if you were one of the jocks or cool kids, all that matter was that you could play your part. Music was the ultimate equalizer.
I expressed to my psychiatrist that there has been an emptiness in my life since my band days. We decided that I would learn how to play the harmonica. It’s been three weeks since I started my new hobby and I’m loving it. It’s not the same as being in the band as a brass player; however, it has returned the joy of music to my life. #bandgeek
